way you feel, please consult your healthcare
professional.
• Do not rely on the AST results for changing
one's treatment method.
• The amount glucose in alternative sites differs
from person to person.
• Before using AST, please consult your
healthcare professionals.
• Note :
Results from alternative 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 for drawing
if you suffer from hypoglycaemia or have
experienced hypoglycaemic shock or
symptoms.
• Note :
If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads
due to contact with hair or with lines on your
skin, do not use that sample.
Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
