Important Information About Using Alternative Sites Testing :

• Alternate sites where you can test are dorsal hand, ventral palm, upper
arm, forearm, calf, and thigh.
• Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained using sam-
ples taken from your alternate sites may differ significantly from fingertip
samples
• The conditions in which these differences are more likely to occur are
when your blood glucose is changing rapidly such as following a meal, as
insulin dose, or associated with physical exercise.
• When blood glucose is changing rapidly, fingertip samples show these
changes more quickly than alternate sites samples.
• When your blood glucose is falling, testing with a fingertip sample may
identify a hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) level sooner than a test with a
alternate sites sample.
• Use alternate sites samples only for testing prior to or more than two hours
after meal, insulin doses, or physical exercise.
• Testing performed within two hours after meals, insulin doses, or physical
exercise or whenever you feel that your glucose levels may be changing
rapidly should be done from the fingertip.
• You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern about
hypoglycemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a car, particularly if
you suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness (lack of symptom to indicate
as insulin reaction), as forearm testing may fail to detect hypoglycemia. CAUTION
Important :
•To receive accurate test results, at least 1.0㎕ minimum sample volume
