The term "big boned" lol repeatedly told this growing up!
Does anyone know if you can get the control solution anywhere - it was not included in my bundle from Home Health. Also is there a data cable available. I have control solution for my Gluco Nexus but not sure if I could use this. Many thanks x

I believe the test solutions can be used on any meter. They are just two different known concentrations of sugar, so the machine knows no different what brand of solution you are using.

I found contacting manufacturers they were happy to send control solution ... they make the money on test strips ;)

Many thanks for that - I have noticed quite a difference with numbers. New on is 8 less than older one.

I don’t think that’s right and would suggest checking with the meter manufacturer/ supplier.

This article confirms and is quite interesting (in a geeky/bored in the evening kind of way): https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC4525664/

Its fine, I will contact them and see if they will provide a freebee solution x
I just noticed that it looks like Home Health (Gluco Navii supplier) charge for CS. I use the Caresens Dual from Spirit Health, they supply CS for free along with the batteries. This bit of info may be useful, for members who use the Tee 2 from Spirit too
