1. Shu M, F, Kazuhiro H, Yoshihito A: Hypoglycemia Detection Rate Differs Among Blood Glucose Monitoring Sites.
Diabetes Care 28(3): 708–709, 2005
• Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
• You are testing for hyperglycemia.
• Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
NOTE:
• Rubbing forearm until warm before lancing will help minimize the
difference between fingertip and AST test results. The palm (at the
base of the thumb) does not require rubbing before testing.
• If results from alternate site testing do not agree with how you feel,
use fingertip testing.
