Testing Using an Alternate Test Site
Your Telcare BGM
™
is capable of testing
your blood glucose from your palm,
usually referred to as an alternate site
test, or AST.
Alternate site testing can be less painful
than fingertip testing. However, because
of the physiological differences between
your fingertip and palm, AST results may
be significantly different.
You should consult with your doctor
before using alternate site testing
.
