Tips for fi ngertip testing
• Gently massage your hand and
fi nger toward the puncture site
to form a drop of blood. Do not
"milk" or squeeze around the
puncture site.
• Lance the side of your fi ngertip to
avoid soreness. To avoid calluses,
choose a diff erent lancing site each time. Position the end of
the adjustable comfort tip against the side of the fi ngertip.
Press the trigger button, and then lift the lancing device away
from the fi nger after the puncture is complete.
Testing using an alternate test site
Important information on alternate
site testing
Your BGM is capable of testing your
blood glucose from your palm, usually
referred to as an alternate site test, or AST.
Alternate site testing can be less painful than fi ngertip testing.
However, because of the physiological diff erences between
your fi ngertip and palm, alternate site testing results may be
signifi cantly diff erent.
Alternate site testing should not be used to calibrate a
continuous glucose monitor nor should it be used in insulin
dose calculations.
Alternate site testing should only be used during steady state
blood glucose conditions when glucose is not changing rapidly.
