Excellent product

"Excellent product"

— Donna M. (5/5)

Very necessary product that's too often overlooked

"Control solution is a very necessary product and is all too often overlooked! It is very important to make sure your blood glucose test strips and monitor are working properly. And I'm not referring to having a defective product either! I'm referring to the fact that you can forget to close the lid on your vial of test strips or fail to close it all the way! Exposing them to air and humidity! Or you may have dropped your monitor one too many times. Or you don't make sure to purchase your test strips only from a "TRUSTED" retailer, supplier or directly from Ascensia Diabetes Care's eStore, and you get questionable test strips that may not have been stored properly or not fresh! For all these reasons and many more, you need to check each vial of test strips with both Contour NEXT Level 1 and Level 2 control solutions! Testing ensures the accuracy of not only the particular lot of strips but also your monitor as well. If you get reading that are off and test another vial of strips, then you more than likely have a bad monitor. Unless the vials of strips are from the same Lot number and Production date. The control solution is very easy to use! Just shake at least 15 times and put a small drop on a clean nonporous surface and insert a test strip into your monitor and touch the test strip to the drop of solution and let the strip pull it in. I always test each vial of strips to ensure accuracy! I'm pleased to say I always get reading right in the middle of the proper range for both Level 1 & 2 control solutions! I feel I get great reading all the time because I only purchase test strips through trusted retailers or my DME supplier for my insurance carrier as well as Ascensia Diabetes Care's eStore! So, I'm always getting fresh test strips! I only purchase the Control Solutions from trusted retailers and suppliers as well! I also appreciate that the Contour NEXT Control Solutions are "Made in U. S. A. "! I feel it ensures the quality and integrity of the solutions!"
