IMPORTANT
• Talk to your healthcare professional about Alternative
Site Testing.
Do not change your treatment because of
just one result.
NEVER ignore symptoms of high or low
20
blood glucose.
If your blood glucose result does not
match how you feel, perform a fingertip/
palm test to confirm your result. If the
fingertip/palm result still does not match
how you feel, call your healthcare
professional.
Alternative site testing may be done:
• Immediately before a meal
• Fasting
DO NOT test from an alternative site:
• Two hours or less after eating
• After exercising
• If you are sick
• If you think your blood glucose is low
• If you often don't notice when your blood
glucose is low
• During peak action time of short-acting
insulin or rapid-acting insulin analogues
• Up to two hours after injecting a
short-acting insulin or rapid-acting insulin
analogue
