Physiological differences
in circulation between the
fingertip, palm (at the base
of the thumb), and forearm
may result in differences in
blood glucose measurements
between these sites.
Differences in glucose
concentrations may be observed after eating,
taking insulin medication, or exercise. Changes
in blood glucose may be detected at the
fingertips before the palm (at the base of the
thumb) and forearm.
It is recommended that you use a fi ngertip sample if:
[1] You are testing for hypoglycaemia or if you suffer from
hypoglycaemia unawareness,
[2] You are testing your blood glucose within 2 hours of
eating, taking insulin or medication, exercising, or
[3] Your blood glucose results obtained from the palm (at the
base of the thumb) or forearm are not consistent with the way
you feel.
CAUTION: Please read all the instructions provided in this
Owner's Guide and practice the testing procedures before
using the AgaMatrix WaveSense JAZZ Blood Glucose
Monitoring System. Blood glucose monitoring should be
done under the guidance of your healthcare professional.
