1. A glucose reference control for glucose test strips consisting essentially of an aqueous suspension of:
- (i) about 40 to 500 mg/dL of glucose, and(ii) about 0.1 to 0.3×
1012 /dL red blood cells fixed with a fixing agent to render said red blood cells incapable of metabolizing glucose, the number of said fixed red blood cells being sufficient to provide a glucose reference control for glucose test strips in which the true value of glucose and the measured value is approximately the same.

Abstract
A stable glucose reference control has been found in which the true value and the measured value of glucose in blood, colorimetrically obtained with glucose test strips, is approximately the same. The glucose reference control comprises an aqueous suspension of:
(i) 40 to 500 mg/dL of glucose, and
(ii) about 0.1 to 0.3×1012 /dL red blood cells fixed with a fixing agent to render the red blood cells incapable of metabolizing glucose.
