5.2.7 Identifying the blood glucose value
with blood from the lower arm
1.
Select a part of the body
that is soft, not too densely
covered with hair and not
near a bone or a vein.
Massage the area gently to
prepare the skin and to
improve the circulation.
2.
Hold the lancing device
against the lancing spot for
a few seconds and then
press the trigger button.
3.
Wait until a blood drop
forms under the AST cap
with a diameter of
approx. 1.4 mm.
4.
Remove the lancing device
from the skin carefully and
proceed in the same way as
for the normal protective cap
(see 5.2.3 “Identifying the
blood glucose value
with blood from the finger
tip”, page 31 onwards).
