    I can't find the level 1 control solution on Amazon. Is level 2 okay to use?

    Thank you! New to diabetes- Just found out a few days ago, but I've probably been living with the condition unknowingly for years. control solution didn't come in the box and the instructions were a little confusing. the pharmacist didn't mention a control solution but he knew the test strips were seperate. This helps a lot I"ll get some solution and callibrate this sucker

    THANK YOU TREMENDOUSLY. The booklet instructions were CLEAR AS MUD to me. And the only time I remembered and asked at the office, the tech person could do tests but had never done Test Solution Tests on the Monitor, and didn't know the process. I am sorry, but I am so glad to see how simple this REALLY IS - yet exasperated at the comprehensibility of the written instructions that came with the kit. I cannot tell you how TREMENDOUS it is to be able to find a simple, plain demonstration, particularly of finding the chart that explains the reading I got on the Testing Solution Test Strip. Yet my personal failure in Lack of Reading Comprehension... As Charlie Brown would say - AUGH!!!

    I bought this meter for my husband because the accuchek strips were too expensive. Our True Metrix did not come with a control solution. Also, this meter ranges from 10-40 points higher than the Accuchek. Who are we supposed to believe? Does this meter even work?

    @@oldmanbiscuit7518 No, it’s not. Mine is usually low, also, and it reads prediabetic/diabetic, too. I thinks it’s overclocked to get patients to freak out and buy Metformin. Just watch your carbs and you should be fine. But I’m not a doctor. (Three years, huh? Wow! Time flies!)

    I'm not a fan of this meter. I've tried 6 or 7 strips, and I keep getting E-3. Like you said, i use a little extra solution, I let the strip stay a few seconds longer, and still E-3. Does anyone want to buy a slightly used True Metrix meter? I have NO patience! My other meter&solution you can see it draw up into the strip. This one doesn't, that i can see. It looks like I'm gonna have to purchase another meter that's more user-friendly! Signed frustrated!😒🫣😒
