ABOUT ALTERNATE SITE TESTING
Important Information About Using Alternate Site Blood Samples:
Consult your physician or healthcare professional before you begin using alternate sites for
testing.
Avoid moles, veins, bones and tendons.
Testing during or after a meal, physical exercise or any other event that will impact glucose
levels can alter your blood glucose test results. It may signicantly differ from the alternate site
and ngertip samples.
Alternate site testing should only be used two or more hours after meals, physical exercise, or
any other event that may affect blood glucose levels. (Testing within those two hours should be
obtained through your ngertip).
Alternate site testing should NOT be used to calibrate continuous blood glucose monitors.
Alternate site testing should NOT be used to make insulin dosing calculations.
Alternate site testing is NOT recommended for people with a history of recurrent hypoglycemia.
