Do NOT use AST if:
- You think your blood glucose is low.
- You are unaware of hypoglycemia.
- You are testing for hyperglycemia.
- Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
- Your routine glucose results often fluctuate.
Preparing the Puncture Site
Stimulating blood flow by rubbing the puncture site before
blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value
obtained.
Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a measurably
different glucose concentration than blood from a site that has.
When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the
difference was significantly reduced.
Reference : Jungheim, Karsten, and Theodor Koschinsky. “Glucose Monitoring at the Arm Risky de-
lays of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia detection.” Diabetes Care 25.6 (2002): 956-960.
Please follow the suggestions below before obtaining a drop
of blood:
- Wash and dry your hands before starting.
- Select the puncture site at fingertips or another body part.
- Rub the puncture site for about 20 seconds before penetration.
- Clean the puncture site using cotton moistened with 70% alcohol
and let it air dry.
- Replace the lancing device cap with the clear cap for AST. Pull
the cocking control back until it clicks. When lancing the forearm
or hand, avoid lancing the areas with obvious veins because of
excessive bleeding.
