Alternative Site Testing

IMPORTANT:

There are limitations with AST (Alternative Site Testing).

Please consult your health care professional before you per-

form AST.

What is AST?

Alternative site testing (AST) means

that people use parts of the body other

than the ngertips to check their blood

glucose levels. This system allows you

to test on the palm, the forearm, the

upper arm, the calf or the thigh with

results equivalent to ngertip testing.

What is the advantage?

Fingertips feel pain more readily

because they are full of nerve endings

(receptors). At other body sites, since

nerve endings are not so condensed,

you will not feel as much pain as on

the ngertips.

When to use AST?

Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect blood glu-

cose levels. Capillary blood at ngertip reects these changes faster

than capillary blood at other sites. Thus, when testing blood glucose

during or immediately after meal, physical exercise, or any other

event, take the blood sample from your nger only.
