CONTOUR NEXT Control Solution for Glucose Test Meter, Level 1, 2.5mL Bottle

I have a cgm and often need to check a reading, so I use the finger stick, but is the meter good? Meters wear out around 5 years , and the test solution check the accuracy of the meter. Strongly recommend getting a bottle of the test solution and checking your meter and strips. If you are diabetic, you have to be correct.

Nice product

Tests out to be accurate.

It is a wide range and hard to tell if the monitor is reading correctly.

Be sure you pay attention to what it says on the label. Once opened, you must use within a certain amount of time. It’s best to write down the date you open it on the bottle.Always check your vial when you first open a new one with the control solution to make sure your strips are still viable.

This seemed to work for the glucose tester we have. You put a drop on wax paper and use the control solution instead of your blood. The tricky part comes by knowing the value that you should receive when using the drops. The value for level 1 and level 2 is printed on the test strip bottle. I had bought the level 1 drops which is for testing the low end; 38-47 mg/dl. I wish I had bought level 2 drops, 111-138 mg/dl. You could use level 1 and 2 for testing which would be the very best thing to do to confirm your tester and strips are all provided accurate data.

As advertised

Did not use, so was returned
