Important Information about Using Alternate Site Blood Samples
Consult your physician before you begin using the alternate site for testing.
▶
Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained using samples taken
▶
from alternate sites may differ significantly from fingertip samples.
Use fingertip samples when you are concerned with hypoglycemia (insulin reactions)
▶
such as when you are driving a car, particularly if you suffer from hypoglycemia,
unawareness (lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction), as alternate site
testing may fail to detect hypoglycemia.
Alternate site testing is NOT recommended for people with a history of reoccurring
▶
hypoglycemia.
Routine testing before meals can be done either on the Forearm, Upper arm, Palm,
▶
Fingertip, Thigh, as well as Calf.
