Do not rely on test results at an alternative sampling site, but use samples taken
from the fingertip, if any of the following applies:
l
you think your blood sugar is low
l
you are not aware of symptoms when you become hypoglycemic
l
the site results do not agree with the way you feel
l
after a meal
l
after exercise
l
during illness
l
during times of stress
CAUTION:
l
Never change your treatment without first consulting your Physician or a
Healthcare Professional.
l
Never ignore symptoms of high or low blood glucose.
l
If your blood glucose does not match how you feel, perform a
fingertip/palm test to confirm your result. If the fingertip/palm result still
does not match how you feel, call your healthcare professional.
Lancing and Sampling from an Alternate
Site
Sampling from your palm or forearm allows you to use your fingertips less often.
You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternative site is less
painful than using a fingertip. Getting a blood sample from your forearm or
palm is different than getting a sample from your fingertips.
l
Forearm sampling: Choose a fleshy area of the forearm away
from the bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less
blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips. To help you get
a large enough drop of blood, you may gently massage or
apply warmth to the site to increase blood flow.
l
Palm sampling: Choose a fleshy area on the palm below your
thumb or little finger. Select an area away from veins or deep
creases which may cause your blood sample to smear.
