What does ctl mean? Thankkks.

It apparently indiciates a control solution test - perhaps it thinks that's what you've supplied it? Have you done a test on the new machine with control solution?

I think you'll find your result will be recorded as a solution test rather than a blood glucose test.

Sorry what's a solution test?

Sorry what's a solution test?

It's a liquid that you can get with most meters to test their accuracy (you put a drop of the solution on the strip instead of blood). It seems your new meter is getting confused and thinking that you have performed one of these tests rather than a blood test for some reason.

Ah okay. That makes sense.
I'm so useless when it comes to this stuff. No one really tells me anything this is what it is now
