CHAPTER 6
Doing A Control
Solution Test
Why Do A Control Solution Test?
The control solution test tells you that your meter and test
strips are working correctly. A control solution test is similar
to when you monitor your blood
glucose or blood β-Ketone, except you
use an Optium or MediSense Control
Solution.
You do not use a drop of
blood in a control solution test.
When Is Doing A Control Solution
Test Recommended?
•
When you question your results.
•
To make sure that your meter and
test strips are working properly.
