Testing Using an Alternate Test Site
Your Telcare Blood Glucose Meter 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, but because of
the physiological differences between
your fingertip and palm, alternate site
test result maybe significantly different
than results from fingertip testing under
certain conditions.
You should consult with your doctor or
healthcare professional before using
alternate site testing.
