Alternative Site Testing
You can test on a variety of locations on your body.
Important :
There are limitations with AST
(Alternative Site Testing).
Please consult your health
care professional before you
perform AST.
When to use AST?
Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can aff ect blood
glucose levels. Capillary blood at the fi ngertip refl ects these changes
faster than capillary blood at other sites. Thus, when testing blood
glucose during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise, or any
other event, take a blood sample from your fi nger only.
We strongly recommend that you perform AST ONLY at the following times :
⊙ In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).
⊙ Two hours or more after taking insulin.
⊙ Two hours or more after exercise.
Do NOT use AST if :
⊙ You think your blood glucose is low.
⊙ You are unaware of hypoglycemia
⊙ You are testing for hyperglycemia
⊙ Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
⊙ Your routine glucose results often fl uctuate.
