Important Notes Regarding Forearm Samples Used in

Testing Blood Glucose:

• Check with your Doctor or Diabetes Healthcare
Professional to see if forearm testing is right for you.
• Blood glucose results from forearm are not always the
same as results from fingertip. Do not use forearm for
testing when blood sugar is rapidly rising or falling,
e.g., within 2 hours of eating, after taking insulin,
immediately after exercise, or when you are ill or
under stress. Use fingertip sample for testing.
• Do not use forearm samples for testing if you think
your blood sugar is low, if you don't regularly
experience symptoms when your blood glucose is low,
or if your results from forearm samples do not match
the way you feel. Use fingertip sample for testing.
