  If the control solution test for your Prodigy Blood Glucose Meter is out of range, ensure you're performing the test correctly by carefully rereading the instructions and repeating the test. Make sure to shake the control solution bottle vigorously before testing. Check the expiration and discard dates of the control solution to ensure it is still valid. The control solution should be at room temperature (less than 86°F/30°C) before testing. A new test strip should be used to repeat the test.

What to do if the Prodigy Blood Glucose Meter test does not start after applying the sample?

  If the Prodigy Blood Glucose Meter test doesn't start after you apply your blood sample, it could be due to several reasons. You might not have used a large enough blood sample, in which case, repeat the test with a new test strip and a larger sample. The test strip could be defective, so try again with a new one. Also, make sure to apply the sample only when the user symbol appears on the display to avoid applying it after the meter has shut off automatically; if that happened, repeat the test with a new test strip.
