OneTouchVerio Control Solution, Mid.13 fl oz

I was concerned that my OneTouch meter was reading very low, so purchased this to test it out. My meter read spot on, which was a relief, but this fairly expensive little bottle that expires in 6 months should really come free with the monitor in the first place and be covered by any prescription that covers the meter and/or supplies. To me, it was worth buying for peace of mind, but someone on a tighter budget who has a faulty meter will probably shy away from buying it, which is a shame.

Works perfectly.

I ordered this control solution online because it is not available in any of the local pharmacies I use, including the one that sold me my OneTouch kit. I later asked the pharmacist why they don't carry it and she said they haven't sold it in over 15 years. Apparently it's not really needed anymore, as the manufacturing tolerances of the test strips have reached a high level of reliability and consistency. The only reason nowadays to use the control solution is if you drop your OneTouch meter and need to confirm that it's still properly calibrated, so there's that.

Blood testing

Calibrated my machine satisfactory.
