The meter needs little or no maintenance

the meter or think it is not giving accurate
results, make sure that your test strips haven’t
expired, then run a “check strip” test. If you are
still getting unexpected results carry out the
“Control solution” check to ensure the meter
is working correctly -see Chapter 2, Control
Solution Test.
