[QUOTE="pav, post: 381934, member: 58100"] There no need to do a calibration (control) test a second time within a week, normally I do these on receipt of the meter if I have the control solution, then I do anther control test if I suspect the meter is acting up. Just done a calibration test on my meters as the supplier sent me another meter and wanted to check if the results are similar on both meters. Its worth asking your doctor if they will give you a prescription for more strips and lancets, also worth asking for a sharps bin to put the used lancets and strips in. The supply of sharps bins vary area to area, yet another post code lottery like the test strips and lancets. [/QUOTE]
