| Control Solution is used to test the accuracy of your meter and test strips. Applied to a test strip, control solution confirms that the meter's test results are in the expected range printed on the test strip vial. Control solution tests should be performed at least once a week, every time a new vial of test strips is opened, and whenever you suspect the meter or test strips may not be functioning properly. |

Our Control Solution is a red liquid that contains a fixed amount of glucose that resembles blood. The purpose of Control Solution is three-fold:
- To practice testing, without having to use blood.
- To insure that your meter and test strips are working together properly.
To check that you are following the correct testing procedure.
