To ensure accurate results when lancing your arm (forearm
or upper arm), leg (calf or thigh), or palm (ventral palm or
dorsal hand), clean the test site with soap and water.
Choose a eshy area of the forearm, upper arm, thigh, or calf away from the bone,
visible veins and/or hair. Sometimes there is less blood ow in these areas than the
ngertip.
To help you get enough blood, you may gently massage or apply a heating pad to
the site to increase the blood ow.
IMPORTANT
We recommend that you test on your ngertips if you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood
glucose) or if you are suering from hypoglycemia unawareness.
WARNING
To reduce the chances of getting infection: never share a lancet or a reusable lancing device
with anyone.

3. To bring fresh blood to the surface of the test site, rub

clear cap down against a eshy area on the alternative
