Testing a Blood Sample
Limitations and Considerations: Forearm and Palm Testing
Some patients test their blood glucose at sites other than the
nger because it is generally less painful.
NOTE: Results from the forearm may be dierent from ngertip
results when glucose levels are changing rapidly, e.g., after a meal,
after taking insulin, or during or after exercise. Only use nger or
palm testing during these times.
