Why Control Solution?

Control Solution is a Meter specific Solution that is used to ensure that the Meter System is working correctly. Each Meter will use a Control Solution made just for that particular Meter or brand of Meters. Each Meter will give a range of Solution test results, a low through a high, usually located on the bottle of strips. To make certain that the Meter is working correctly, the Control Test result should fall within the recommended range. Control Solution should be used as the very first test that you make with a brand new Meter. It is good practice, also, to use the Control Solution whenever you open a new container of test strips. In addition, if your Blood Glucose Meter has been dropped, damaged or endured extreme temperatures, you want to use the Control Solution to check it's accuracy. Furthermore, if you feel that a test result is invalid, you can check the Meter System's performance at any time using the Meter's Control Solution. Keep in mind that the Solution does have a shelf life, about 3 months from the date it was opened or the "use by" date on the Solution bottle. For all Meter specific details, please refer to your Meter's user guide. Most providers will be able to help you replace your expired Control Solution at the time you order your Blood testing supplies.
