Control Solution Testing
Our Control Solution contains a known amount of glucose
that reacts with test strips and is used to ensure your device
and test strips are working together correctly.
Test strips, control solutions, or sterile lancets may not be
included in the kit (please check the contents on your product
box). They can be purchased separately. Please make sure you
have those items needed for a blood glucose test beforehand.
