Physiological diff erences in circulation between the fi n-
gertip and palm (at the base of the thumb) may result
in diff erences in blood glucose measurements between
these sites. Diff erences in glucose concentrations may
be observed after eating, taking insulin medication, or
exercise. Changes in blood glucose may be detected
in the fi ngertips before the palm (at the base of the
thumb).
It is recommended that you use a fi ngertip sample if:
You are testing for hypoglycemia or if you suff er from
hypoglycemia unawareness,
You are testing your blood glucose within 2 hours of
eating, taking insulin, diabetes pills, exercise, or
Your blood glucose results obtained from the palm (at
the base of the thumb) are not consistent with the way
you feel.
