When to use AST?
Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can aect blood glucose levels.
Capillary blood at the ngertip reects these changes faster than capillary
blood at other sites. Thus, when testing blood glucose during or immediately
after a meal, physical exercise, or any other event, take a blood sample from
your nger only.
We strongly recommend that you perform AST ONLY at the following times:
• 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 unaware of hypoglycemia.
• You are testing for hyperglycemia.
• Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
• Your routine glucose results often uctuate.
