Important Information About Arm Testing (continued)
• You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern
about hypoglycaemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a car,
particularly if you suffer from hypoglycaemic unawareness (lack of
symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction), as arm testing may fail
to detect hypoglycaemia.
What you should do:
• Use arm or fingertip samples for testing prior to, or more than
two hours after, meals, insulin doses, or physical exercise.
• Routine testing before meals can be done either at the fingertip or
the arm.
• Consult your healthcare professional before you begin using the
arm for testing.
