Importance of Blood Glucose Monitoring The more you know about diabetes, the
better you can care for yourself. A Doctor or Healthcare Professional
determines how often you should test your glucose and what your target ranges
are for glucose results. Having most blood glucose results within your target
range shows how well your treatment plan is working to control your glucose
levels. To slow or stop the complications from diabetes, keep your glucose
results within your target range. Caution! NEVER change your treatment plan
without talking to your Doctor or Healthcare Professional.

Quality Control Testing
To assure accurate and reliable results, TRUE METRIX GO offers two kinds of
quality control tests, an Automatic Self-Test and a Control Test. These tests
let you know that your system is working properly and your testing technique
is good.
Automatic Self-Test:
An Automatic Self-Test is performed each time a test strip is inserted
correctly into the Test Port. The Test lets you know if the meter and the
Display are working properly. The Automatic Self-Test does not take the place
of running a Control Test.
1. Insert test strip into Test Port.
If an error message appears, the
meter will not perform a test.
See Troubleshooting or call

used for testing. 8AM-8PM EST.
18
Control Test:
We recommend performing Control Tests: · before using your meter for the first
time, · for practice to ensure your testing technique is good, · when opening
a new vial of test strips, · occasionally as a vial of test strips is used, ·
if results seem unusually high or low, · if the test strip vial has been left
opened, exposed to extreme heat, cold, or humidity, · whenever a check on the
performance of the system is needed, · if meter damage is suspected (meter was
dropped, crushed, wet, etc.). Performing a Control Test with more than one
level of control solution is recommended to ensure that the system is working
properly. Three levels of TRUE METRIX Control Solution are available. Contact
place of purchase or call
1-800-803-6025, Monday – Friday, 8AM-
8PM EST, for more information on how to obtain levels of control solution. Use
ONLY TRUE METRIX Control Solution for Control Test. Caution! Ranges printed on
test strip vial label being used are for Control Test results only and are not
suggested levels for your blood glucose. Do not drink control solution.
