Meter Control Solution
 

I just received my Nova glucose/ketone testing meter. It came with a small vial of glucose/ketone testing solution, which I am assuming is to test the calibration of both the meter and the testing strips.

My question is: Should this solution give the same reading across the board of meters? I have 3 currently. Don't want to waste strips...

Jenny Ruhl has written in her book and a few articles... not to waste strips on the meter solution. And because I'm lazy, just accepted her advice and have never bothered with it.

Thanks, Janet. You are an amazing resource.
