All About FreeStyle Control Solution
What is FreeStyle Control Solution?
It is a red liquid that contains a fixed amount of
glucose and has three important uses:
• To practice testing without having to use your
own blood.
• To ensure that your meter and test strips are
working together properly.
• To check that you are following the correct testing procedure.
What is the best way to check my FreeStyle Flash ™ Meter?
Perform a test using the FreeStyle Control Solution. A control solution
test follows the same procedure as a blood glucose test, except that you
use a sample of control solution instead of a drop of blood (refer to
pages 19 to 20 for information on performing a control solution test).
How does the control solution test tell me my meter is
working properly?
If the meter reading is within the control solution acceptable range,
the meter is working properly.
