Control Solution Testing
Performing a Control Solution Test
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,
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 meter.
