TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE

Control Solution Testing

FORA Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose that re-
acts with test strips and is used to ensure your monitor and test strips
are working together correctly.
Do a control solution test when:
• you first receive the monitor
• at least once a week to routinely check the monitor and test strips
• you begin using a new vial of test strips
• you suspect the monitor 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
• testing process or
• you have dropped or think you may have damaged the monitor.
