Check the level of the monitor

I have not even been able to use my monitor yet, and this makes me very sad. I had no idea that I was supposed to purchase some type of liquid to actually test the monitor prior to using it for the first time, as well as test it periodically. I also threw away the box that the test strips came in and just put them in the case with the monitor. I know, what a blonde!!! Well, now I have no idea what the numbers are supposed to be, so why even poke myself at this point. I have no idea what to do!!! Signed, very sad and confused.
