Forearm and Palm Testing
The forearm and palm areas have less nerve endings than the fingertip, so
you may find that obtaining blood from these sites is less painful than from the
fingertip. The procedure for forearm and palm sampling is different. You need
the clear cap to draw blood from these sites. The clear cap is not adjustable
for puncture depth.
IMPORTANT: There are important differences among forearm, palm and
fingertip samples that you should know. Important Information about forearm,
palm glucose testing:
• You should consult your healthcare professional before choosing to perform
forearm or palm testing.
• When blood levels are changing rapidly such as after a meal, insulin dose
or exercise, blood from the fingertips may show these changes more rapidly
than blood from other areas.
