INFORMATION ABOUT ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING (AST)

What Is Alternative Site Testing?

Alternative site testing (AST) is the use of parts of the body, other than the fingertips, to check blood
glucose levels. The iHealth Wireless Smart Gluco-Monitoring System allows you to test on the palm,
forearm, upper arm, calf, or thigh with equivalent results to fingertip testing when used at
appropriate times.
