  • Page 5: Important Information

    Important Information Available Alternate Sites Testing : Palm and Forearm. Alternate Site Testing (AST) means you can use other parts of the body other than your more sensitive fingertips to check your blood glucose levels. ® 1. The EasyTouch Glucose Monitoring System allows you to test on the palm and the forearm with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.
  • Page 6 Alternative site results differ from fingertip results when glucose levels are changing rapidly such as after a meal, after taking insulin, during exercise, or when you are ill or under stress. Use blood from a fingertip rather than an alternative site if: •...
  • Page 7 2. Talk to your doctor to see if alternate site testing is right for you. With a little bit of education, you can give your fingertips a rest and maybe test more often than you do now. For people with diabetes, more frequent testing is a good thing.
  • Page 8 • Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially serious medical condition. If your blood glucose reading is unusually low or high, or if you do not feel the way your reading indicates, repeat the test with a new test strip. If your reading is not consistent with your symptoms or if your blood glucose result is less than 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or higher than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) you should contact your healthcare professional.
