Tip Five —Practice, Practice, Practice
As with all new skills, practicing is the key to feeling comfortable
performingthisnewskillwithcondenceandease.Don’tgiveup;
remember to practice, practice, practice. We suggest using Prodigy
®
control solution when practicing.
Practice until, with relative ease, you can get a test result that
falls within the target range for the Prodigy
®
control solution three (3)
tests in a row. It can be helpful to have someone with sight to watch
you practice in order to provide feedback or to answer any questions
you may have.
