Blood Glucose Monitoring System
For Testing on Palm and Forearm:
Do only when it is more than two hours after a meal, diabetes medication,
or exercise. Select a puncture site on forearm or palm. Avoid veins, hair,
moles, bone and tendon.
For palm testing, it is not necessary to rub the skin or pump the device.
Press the clear endcap rmly against the puncture site and then press
the release button.
For forearm testing only, rub testing area vigorously until it feels warm to
increase blood ow. Press the clear endcap rmly against the puncture
site and then press the release button. Keep the device in constant contact
with the skin and pump (apply and release pressure) up and down 2–3
times without lifting device away from skin.
When the blood is about the size of a pen tip (approximately: ) lift the lancing device
straight up without smearing the blood.
NOTE:
• Rubbing forearm until warm before lancing will help minimize the difference with
ngertip test results. The palm (at the base of the thumb) does not require rubbing
before testing.
• If results from alternative site testing do not agree with how you feel, use ngertip
testing instead.
