Preparing the Puncture Site
Rubbing the puncture site before blood extraction has a significant
influence on the accuracy of your test results.
Blood from an alternate a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a
measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the finger.
When the puncture site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the
difference was significantly reduced.
