Control Tests

When to Perform a Control Test

Performing a control test lets you know the meter and test strips are working properly. You should perform a

control test when:

• you open a new test strip box.

• you left the test strip container open.

• you think the test strips are damaged.

• you want to check the meter and test strips.

• the test strips were stored in extreme temperatures, humidity, or both.

• you dropped the meter.

• your test result does not match how you feel.

• you want to check if you are performing the test correctly.
