BEFORE TESTING
Control Solution Testing
Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts
with test strips. By comparing the result of your control solution test with the
expected range printed on the test strip vial label, you can check that the meter
and test strips are working together as a system and that you are performing
the test correctly.
Do a control solution test when:
• you rst receive the meter,
• at least once a week to routinely check the meter and test strips,
• you start using a new vial of test strips,
• you suspect the meter or test strips are not working properly,
• your blood glucose test results are not consistent with how you feel, or if
you think the results are not accurate,
• practicing the testing procedure, or
• you have dropped or think you may have damaged the meter.
