REMEMBER
• Consult with your Healthcare Professional before using alternate site
testing.
• Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures
in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses.
• If bruising occurs at an alternative site or you have difficulty getting a
sample, consider sampling from a fingertip instead. You may want to
review the choice of sites with your Healthcare Professional.
• Do not share your reusable lancing device with anyone including other
family members.
CAUTION
Do not test on your upper arm, forearm, dorsal hand, ventral palm, thigh, or
calf when:
• You think your blood glucose is rapidly falling. For example within two
hours of exercise, rapid-action insulin injection, or an insulin pump bolus.
• Testing with a fingertip sample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin
reaction sooner than testing with a forearm or palm sample.
