[IPk] Control Solution
Dear All,
Using a control solution is just a standard practice for maintaining your
machine. I would never imagine of driving my car without having it serviced
regularly and then MOT'ed . Because I regularly check my Blood Sugar Meter
using a control solution. It's the same practice as getting your eyes
checked regularly, and a full diabetic review, being done by your Dr or
Consultant.
I think more people should check into the habit of doing it - well at least
once a year.
Regards Loretta
