There are important limitations to performing AST.
Consult with your healthcare professional before testing
with a blood sample obtained from AST locations.
Alternate Site Testing
What is AST?
Alternate Site Testing (AST)
means you can use parts of the
body other than your ngertips
to check your blood glucose
levels. The system allows you
to test from the palm, forearm,
upper arm, calf or thigh, with
equivalent results to ngertip
testing.
What is the advantage?
Fingertips feel pain more
readily because they are full
of nerve endings (receptors).
At other body sites, nerve
endings are not so numerous
and you will not feel as much
pain as you will experience at
the ngertip.
