AST Precautions

• Do not ignore the symptoms of hyperglycemia or
hypoglycemia.
• When the results of the test do not reflect the way you feel,
retest using the fingertip. If the fingertip result still does not
reflect the way you feel on retesting, please consult your
healthcare professional.
• Do not rely on the AST results for changing your treatment
method.
• The amount glucose in alternate sites differs from person to
person.
• Before using AST, please consult your healthcare professional.
NOTE
• Results from alternate site and fingertip samples may differ
from each other, as there is a time lag for the glucose levels
to reach the same value. Use a fingertip sample if you suffer
from hypoglycemia or have experienced hypoglycemic
shock or symptoms.
• If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact
with hair or with lines on your palm, do not use that sample.
Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
