CHAPTER 3
CHECKING YOUR DARIO GLUCOSE METER
This chapter provides information on checking the accuracy of your meter with
a control solution.
To ensure that your results are always accurate, you need to check the
performance of your meter in the following cases:
• If you drop the meter.
• Whenever your result is inconsistent with how you feel.
• If you have repeated a test and the blood glucose result is still
lower or higher than expected.
• Whenever you want to check the performance of the meter and a
test strip.
Dario Control Solution
The Dario Control Solution confirms that the meter and test strips are
performing as expected. A drop of control solution is placed on the edge of the
test strip, allowing the test strip to automatically draw the control solution into
the yellow window. Compare the results on the meter with the values
displayed on the test strip cartridge.
The Dario Control Solution package can be ordered separately. Contact your
local representative for ordering information. The Dario Control Solution
package comes with two bottles of control solution (Level 1, Level 2).
Control Solution Precautions
Note the following about the control solution:
• Avoid contact with your eyes. Contact your health care provider
immediately if solution is swallowed, injected, or comes in contact
with your eye.
• The dye in the control solution may stain skin, clothing, or
surfaces.
