Then perform a quality control check with glucose control
solutions and a new test strip. (See “Quality Control
Checks.”) If the control result is within the acceptable
range, review proper testing procedure and repeat your
blood glucose test with a new test strip. If your blood
glucose value is still inconsistent with your previous
results, glucose trends, or how you feel, please contact
your healthcare professional. Follow the advice
of your healthcare professional before you change your
therapy.
