Control Solution Testing
Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that reacts with
test strips and is used to ensure your meter and test strips are working
together correctly.
Do a control solution test when:
● you first receive the meter,
● at least once a week to routinely check the meter and test strips,
● you begin using a new vial of test strips,
● you suspect the meter or test strips are not working properly,
● patients blood glucose test results are not consistent with how they
feel, or if you think the results are not accurate,
● practicing the testing process, or
● you have dropped or think you may have damaged the meter.
