Normal Glucose Control
Solution — Blue Formula
from your Authorized
LifeScan Distributor or
retail pharmacy.
To do a Control Solution
test, follow the same
procedure you would if you
were testing your blood, (as
described in Chapter 6,
Testing Your Blood), using
Control Solution instead of
blood. Your Control Solution
results will appear on the
Meter display as follows:

(example)
Before you use the Meter to
test your blood glucose,
practice using the Control
Solution until you can do
three tests in a row that are
within the expected glucose
control range. Then you
will know that you have
mastered the test procedure.
Thereafter, you should test
the Meter with the Control
Solution:
ٗ
✔
At least once a week.
ٗ
✔
When you begin using a
new package of Test Strips.
ٗ
✔
Whenever you suspect
the Meter or Test Strips may
not be functioning properly;
e.g., whenever your results
are not consistent with how
you feel.
