TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE

Lancing and sampling from an alternate site

Sampling from your palm or forearm allows you to use your ngertips less often. You may nd that obtaining a blood sample from an

alternate site is less painful than using a ngertip. Getting a blood sample from your forearm or palm is dierent than getting a sample from

your ngertips.

 CAUTION: Do Not test on your forearm or palm when:

• You think your blood glucose is rapidly falling, such as within two hours of exercise or a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin

pump bolus. Testing with a ngertip sample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction sooner than testing with a forearm or

palm sample.

• It has been less than two hours after a meal, a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus, physical exercise, or you think your

glucose level is changing rapidly.

• You are concerned about the possibility of hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction, such as when driving a car. This is especially important

if you suer from hypoglycemia unawareness (lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction).

Remember: Consult with your healthcare professional before using your forearm or palm for testing.

Choose a dierent puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses. If bruising occurs at

an alternate site or you have diculty getting a sample, consider sampling from a ngertip instead. You may want to review the choice of sites

with your healthcare professional.

Choosing the right sampling site at the right time

The OneTouch® UltraMini® Meter allows you to sample blood from your ngertip, forearm or palm. Forearm and palm sampling is also referred

to as “alternate site testing” (AST). At times, results obtained at the forearm or palm may be dierent from a ngertip measurement. Talk to

your healthcare professional before you begin using your forearm or palm for sampling.

If you are testing: Use blood sample from your:

Routinely before meals

Prior to or more than two hours after:

• a meal

• a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus

• exercise

When your blood glucose is changing rapidly, such as:

• within two hours after a meal

• within two hours after a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus, or

• during or within two hours after exercise

When you are concerned about the possibility of hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

Fingertip, forearm, or palm

Fingertip

Forearm sampling

Choose a eshy area of the forearm away from bone, visible veins and hair.

Sometimes there is less blood ow to the forearm than to the ngertips. To help you

get a large enough drop of blood, you may gently massage or apply warmth to the

site to increase blood ow.

Palm sampling

Choose a eshy area on the palm below your thumb or little pinky nger.

Select a spot with no visible veins and away from deep lines, which may cause

your blood sample to smear.

The clear cap is used for forearm and palm sampling only. Replace the blue (or black) cap with the clear cap.
