CAUTION:
Physiological differences in the circulation between the finger and other test sites like the forearm
and the palm may result in differences in blood glucose measurements from the other test sites
and your fingertips. Changes in blood glucose may be observed in finger blood samples sooner
than blood samples form the forearm and other alternative sites. Rub the alternative test sites
about 20 seconds before lancing. If you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), or if you
suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness, we recommend that you test on your fingertips.
Talk to your doctor to see if alternative site blood testing is right for you. With some experience
you can rest your fingertips and test more often by using alternative sites. For people with
diabetes more frequent testing is an advantage. Just remember: any time you want to be sure of
an accurate and up-to-date blood glucose reading, test on a sample from a fingertip.
We strongly recommend you do AST only in the following intervals:
• In a pre-meal or fasting state i.e 2 hours after the previous meal.
• Two hours or more after taking insulin
• Two hours or more after exercise.
Do not use AST if:
• You think your blood glucose is low
• You are unaware of hyperglycaemia
• Your AST results do not match the way you feel
• You are testing for hyperglycaemia
• Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating
• If you are pregnant
