TRUEcontrol Glucose Control Solution

Control solution is the checkpoint every glucose meter needs, and TRUEcontrol Glucose Control Solution is formulated specifically for TRUE-family blood glucose systems. When a reading looks off, when a new vial of test strips is opened, or when a meter has been dropped or stored in the heat, running a control test confirms whether the meter and strips are working together accurately — before those numbers drive a dosing decision.

This collection carries the two levels that make that verification meaningful. The TRUEcontrol Level 1 (High) solution, 3 mL (5H0180) and the TRUEcontrol Level 0 (Low) solution, 3 mL (5H0183) each contain a known concentration of glucose. You apply a drop the same way you would a blood sample; if the meter's result falls within the range printed on the test strip vial, the system is reading correctly. Keeping both a high and a low on hand lets clinics and home users check performance across the range that matters most for their patients.

A few practical points buyers ask about: the solution is intended for use with TRUE meters and strips, so match it to your system rather than substituting another brand's control. Most manufacturers recommend running a control test with each new strip lot, periodically as a routine check, and any time results don't match how a person feels. Once a bottle is opened, note the date — control solutions have a discard window after opening (commonly a few months), separate from the unopened expiration date. And store the bottle at room temperature, tightly capped, away from direct heat and light.

For long-term care facilities, diabetes clinics, and pharmacies managing multiple meters, stocking both levels supports consistent quality-control protocols and documentation. For individuals, a single bottle is inexpensive insurance that the numbers you rely on are trustworthy.
