Alternative Site Testing

Alternative site testing (AST) is when individuals check their blood glucose
levels using other areas of the body other than the fingertips. The FORA
test strips allow AST to be performed on sites other than the fingertips.
Suggested Test Areas

Important:

There are limitations with AST (Alternative Site Testing).
Please consult your health care professional before you perform AST.
When to use AST?
Alternative site sample results may be different from fingertip sample
results when glucose levels are changing rapidly (e.g., after a meal, after
taking insulin, or during or after exercise).
We strongly recommend that you perform AST ONLY at the following
times:
● In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
● Two hours or more after taking insulin.
● Two hours or more after exercise.
