WHEN AND HOW OFTEN TO TEST
Blood Glucose and Ketone tests should be conducted 2 to 3 hours postprandial
(after a meal), twice a day, if possible. Testing twice a day best shows how dietary
intake affects GKI.
Testing with Control Solution
Why Perform Control Tests
Performing a control test lets you know that your meter and test strips are working
properly to give reliable test results. You should perform a control test when:
•
At least once a week
•
When you open a new box of test strip
•
When you want to check the meter and test strips
•
If your test strips were stored in extreme temperature or humidity
•
After cleaning your meter
•
If you have dropped the meter
•
Your test result does not match with how you feel
