BEFORE TESTING
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,
• practicing the testing process, or
• you have dropped or think you may have damaged the monitor.
