Physiologic differences in the circulation between the finger and other test sites
like the forearm and palm may result in differences in blood glucose measure-
ments from the other test sites and your fingertips. Changes in blood glucose
may be observed in finger blood samples sooner than blood samples from the
forearm and other alternate sites. Rub the alternate test sites about 20 seconds
before lancing. If you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), or if you
suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness, we recommend that you test on your
fingertips.
Talk to your doctor to see if alternate site testing is right for you. With a little bit
of education, you can give your fingertips a rest and maybe test more often than
you do now. For people with diabetes, more frequent testing is a good thing.
Just remember: any time you want to be sure of an accurate, up-to-date blood
glucose reading, test on your fingertip.

Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially serious medical
condition. If your blood glucose reading is unusually low or high, or if you do not
feel the way your reading indicates, repeat the test with a new test strip. If your
reading is not consistent with your symptoms or if your blood glucose result is
less than 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or higher than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) you
should contact your healthcare professional and follow his or her treatment
advice.
Any change or administer of medication based on the TysonBio SUPERB blood
glucose test results without the consent and advice of a physician or healthcare
professional is not recommended.
Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results. If
you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your physician
immediately.
