AST Precautions
•
Before using AST, please consult your healthcare professional.
•
Do not ignore the symptoms of hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia.
•
When the results of the test do not reflect your opinion, retest
using a fingertip test. If the fingertip result still does not reflect the
way you feel, please consult your healthcare professional.
•
Do not rely on the AST results for changing your treatment method.
•
The amount of glucose in alternate sites differs from person to
person.
NOTE:
•
Results from alternate sites 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 testing if you suffer from hypoglycaemia or have experienced hypo-
glycaemia shock or symptoms.
•
If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to contact with hair or with a
line in your palm, do not use that sample. Try puncturing again in a smoother
area.
