Chapter 2: Control Testing
Why Run Control Tests?
Control tests ensure that both the meter and the test strips are working properly and giving reliable results. You
should run a control test when:
• The meter is new
• You open a new box of test strips
• You insert a new battery
• You clean the meter
• You drop the meter
• The test results don’t agree with clinical symptoms
• You want to make sure you’re performing tests correctly
