Alternate Site Testing
Important :
We recommend that you test on your fingertip if you are testing for hypoglyce-
mia (low blood sugar) or if you have a history of reoccurring hypoglycemia.
To ensure accurate results when lancing your arm (forearm or upper-
arm), leg (calf or thigh), or palm (ventral palm or dorsal hand), clean the
test site with soap and water.
Make sure there is no cream or lotion on the test site.
Thoroughly dry your hands and test site.
Warning
To reduce the chances of an infection:
Never share a lancet or a reusable lancing device with anyone. (See page 25)
