Embrace Control Solution

Before you begin control solution testing with your Embrace blood glucose meter, check your bottle to determine whether it contains Low or High control solution. Based on this, your meter will need to be set to “L1” for Low or “L2” for High. Once this has been done, shake your control solution bottle and squeeze two drops of control solution onto a clean glass or plastic plate. Immediately put the cap back on the control solution bottle.

Then, take out a test strip and insert it into your meter. When the meter turns on, use the bottom or top button to set it to the correct setting, as detailed in the user manual. Place the tip of the test strip into the control solution. Compare your results to the control solution range that appears on your test strip vial; if it is out of range, consult your manual for troubleshooting.
