Available Alternate Sites Testing : Palm and Forearm
TysonBio SUPERB Blood Glucose Monitoring System provides you alternate sites
testing (AST). This system provides you to test on the palm and the forearm with
the equivalent results to fingertip testing.
Alternative site results differ from fingertip results when glucose levels are chang-
ing rapidly such as after a meal, after taking insulin, during exercise, or when you
are ill or under stress.
We strongly recommend you do AST
ONLY
in the following intervals:
● 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.
● Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
● You are testing for hyperglycemia.
● Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
● If you are pregnant.
There are limitations for doing AST. Please
consult your healthcare professional before
you do AST.
