Lancing and sampling from an alternate site area.
Sampling from your upperarm, forearm, dorsal hand, ventral palm, thigh, or calf
allows you to use your fingertips less often.
You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternate 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 fingertip.
Ventral palm/Dorsal hand
Choose a fleshy area on the palm, below your thumb or
pinky finger. Select a spot without any visible veins and
away from any deep lines. This may cause your blood
sample to smear.
Forearm Upper arm Calf
Thigh
Choose a fleshy area of the forearm, upper arm, thigh,
or calf away from the bone, visible veins and/or hair.
Sometimes there is less blood flow in these areas than
the fingertip. To help you get enough blood, you may
gently massage or apply a heating pad to the site to
increase the blood flow.
