I can't find the level 1 control solution on Amazon. Is level 2 okay to use?
I know a lot of people appreciate you taking the time to put the information out there. Thank you very much
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 want to thank you for this video. I found out that I have diabetes today. My Pharmacist never explained this process to me. :-(
What happens when the numbers are outta range? What do we do next? Do we take the meter to a pharmacist and they’ll fix it?
thank you! I didn't think to look on the bottle of strips for the levels, but now I know!
Very helpful information.
Thanks 😊 Very helpful.
Thank you for this information. It was helpful.
Thanks great video. I have a true matrix 60 and it is reading about 10 points lower than my contour next. Control solution test in range at 39 level 1. Thanks.😊
Thank you very much for your time and effort 👌
Thank you for showing me how to use the control solution. My 2 kits, which I was sent did not include control solution, so I had to have my endocrinologist send in a prescription. My pharmacist said he did not have it to give me. Weird.
Thank you so much this really help me 🙏🏼
Thank you for this
You can also use the top of the cap.
Thank you for making this video. I find the strips are hard to use. I get a lot of E - 2 errors.
Do I need different kind of test strips
Question: My mom jist got the Air, but the E2 error keeps popping up. How do I fix that?
i have this one . and i purchased a one . The true matrix 50% of time shows 10 point difference then the other ?
My solution is expired, pharmacy say i dont need it, when showed my expired. Im wanna know how to set tags and how to use it.😇thank ur a big help
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?

I know this comment is 3 years old, but I just came back from the doctor and my suger was 79 I go home and test and it said 117. That was 20 minutes later and I didn't eat. This thing is not accurate

@@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!)

Deanna Tafoya , can reuse. The most you need is when using a new lot of vials.
Mines shows 38
Mine keeps saying e-3
I’m getting an E-3
Mine showed 37
That's too much to do just to test my glucose
What’s the point of the solution?

It's called a control solution....Google it
Why are you not supposed to shake the bottle? This might have been important to mention in the video.
Wth has aluminum foil or plastic here days!
Just do a new video if you mess up.
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!😒🫣😒
