Alternate Site Test
Performing a blood test with an alternate site
The EasyTouch® BluLink® Blood Glucose Monitoring System gives you the ability
to obtain a blood sample for testing your sugar from different areas of your body.
The figure shown above displays the areas where you can test using your
EasyTouch® BluLink® meter.
You may test your blood sugar from your forearm, upper arm, palm (ventral palm
or dorsal hand), fingertips, thigh, or calf using the AST tip.
It is recommended that alternate site testing be used when sugars are stable:
before meals and before bedtime. However, when sugars are changing, blood
from the fingertips may show these changes sooner than blood from other sites.
