For further information, please refer to the test strip package insert.

Important Control Solution Information

• Use only our control solutions with your device.
• Do not use the control solution beyond the expiry date or 3 months
after first opening. Write the opening date on the control solution
vial and discard the remaining solution after 3 months.
• It is recommended that the control solution test be done at room
temperature 20°C to 25°C (68°F to 77°F). Make sure your control
solution, device, and test strips are at this specified temperature
range before testing.
• Shake the vial before use, discard the first drop of control solution,
and wipe off the dispenser tip to ensure a pure sample and an
accurate result.
• Store the control solution tightly closed at temperatures between
2°C to 30°C (35.6°F to 86°F). Do NOT freeze.

Recommendations. Diabetes Care, 35 (Supplement 1): S1-100.
Normal plasma glucose range for
people without diabetes (mg/dL)
< 100 mg/dL (5.6 mmol/L)
< 140 mg/dL (7.8 mmol/L)
• Normal results vary of Hematocrit, but in general are as follows:
• • Male: 40.7 to 50.3%
• • Female: 36.1 to 44.3%
• If the test result of hematocrit is more than 70%, or hemoglobin is
more than 23.8 (g/dL), the blood glucose test may be invalid, please
redo the test, and consult your doctor if the result is repeatedly
invalid.
•
• The β-Ketone test measures Beta-Hydroxybutyrate (ß -OHB), the
most important of the three β-Ketone bodies in the blood. Normally,
levels of ß -OHB are expected to be less than 0.6 mmol/L.
• ß -OHB levels may increase if a person fasts, exercises vigorously
or has diabetes and becomes ill. If your β-Ketone result is 0.0
mmol/L, repeat the β-Ketone test with new test strips. If the same
message appears again or the result does not reflect how you
feel, contact your healthcare professional. Follow your healthcare
professional's advice before you make any changes to your diabetes
medication programme. If your β-Ketone result is between 0.6 and
1.5 mmol/L, this may indicate development of a problem that could
require medical assistance. Follow your healthcare professional's
instructions. If your β-Ketone result is higher than 1.5 mmol/L,
contact your healthcare professional promptly for advice and
assistance. You may be at risk of developing diabetic ketoacidosis
(DKA).
Please consult your doctor to determine a target range that
works best for you.
