hiya

Just wanted to know is there a specific control solution for every brand of monitor ? I'm mostly uing(when I have the prescription strips ) the gluco RX nexus and when I had no prescription strips left my accu check performa . I have no control solution and want to buy some.

I believe Accu-Chek sends some free control solution out to you, I am not sure on this though.

I think they calibrate the various brands to their own control solution, which is basically the same stuff. I have never calibrated mine for some reason. I will phone up Abbott's next week and ask for some.

@coleyd - I also use the GlucoRX Nexus Meter. Did you register with them? As you will receive free control solution and batteries upon request.

Did not register thought I couldn't as it's a 2nd hand monitor

@coleyd Hi . Well in that case still email them and state you have and are using the GlucoRX Nexus Meter and you would like some control solution. You never know they might just send you it as a Freebie?
Or you could upgrade and purchase a New Meter - go on the site and have a look: glucoRX.co.uk
Let us know how you get on?
