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 unawareness of hypoglycemia.
˙Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
˙You are testing for hyperglycemia.
˙Your routine glucose results are often uctuating.
˙You are pregnant.
How to increase the accuracy?
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to blood
extraction has a signicant inuence on the glucose value obtained.
Blood from the site without rubbing exhibits a measurably different glu-
cose concentration than blood from the nger.
Please follow suggestions below before getting a drop of blood:
˙
Rub the puncture site about 20 seconds before penetration.
˙Use a clear cap (included in the kit) instead while setting the lancing
device.
