Level 2 Testing
Level 1 testing is all you need to do most of the time. If you think your meter or strips may not be working
correctly, you may also want to do a Level 2 test. Simply repeat steps 3 through 6, using Level 2 control
solution.
If you do not have Level 2 control solution, you may purchase control solutions separately.

Range (mg/dL)
Level 1 (LO) 42–72
Level 2 (HI) 290–328
The label on your test strip vial shows the acceptable ranges for
Level 1 and Level 2 test solutions. Your control test results should
be within the listed range. Make sure you compare the result to the
range for the level of control solution you used (Level 1 or Level 2).
When a control test result is within the acceptable range,
your test strips and meter are working properly.
