Preparing To Test Your Blood Glucose From An Alternate Site - ReliOn Prime User Instruction Manual

Ask your diabetes healthcare professional about recommended testing
procedures before operating machinery or driving a car, as fingertip testing is
usually the preferred method of testing under these circumstances.
If bruising occurs, you may choose to lance a fingertip instead.
Preparing to Test Your Blood Glucose From an Alternate
Site
Choose a Site: Select a soft, fleshy area on the
palm that is free of visible veins and moles and away from
bone. Wash the area with warm, soapy water. Rinse and
dry completely. If you use alcohol wipes to cleanse the site,
make sure the area is dry before lancing the site.
