control solutions contain a known amount
of glucose that reacts with test strips. By comparing your control solution test
results with the expected range printed on the test strip vial label, it is able to
check that the meter and the test strips are working together as a system and that
you are performing the test correctly. It is very important that you do this simple
check routinely to make sure you get accurate results.
