Easymax Voice - AST Results and Fingertip Testing

32
Fingertip test only:
 If sick
 If blood glucose is low
 After exercising
 Two hours or less after eating
 When you have just taken insulin
 After injecting rapid-acting insulin (two hours or less)
 If you often do not notice when your blood glucose is low, do a fingertip test.
AST Results:
 If the blood glucose test result from the alternate site test does not match how you feel, do
a fingertip test to confirm the result again.
 Do NOT change your treatment just because of an alternate site result, do a fingertip test
to confirm the result.
 Talk with your healthcare professional before you test with your fingertip, palm or forearm.
 Do NOT ignore symptoms of high or low blood glucose.
 Fingertip samples are able to show the rapid change of glucose faster than forearm
samples.
 Do NOT change your treatment just because of a result.
