The MyGlucoHealth Wireless 

 

meter offers the option for alter-

nate site testing by taking blood 

samples from the upper arm, 

 

forearm, hand, palm, thigh or calf. 

Using alternate sites gives the user 

more options, but you need to be 

aware that blood glucose levels from 

these sites may not always be as ac-

curate as readings from your finger-

tips. 
Alternate site results differ from 

 

fingertip results when glucose 

 

levels are changing rapidly such as 

after a meal, after taking insulin, dur-

ing exercise, or when you are ill or under stress. 
Diabetes experts recommend the use of blood from a fingertip rather 

than an alternate site if: 
• 

The user believes their blood glucose is low, 

• 

They don’t regularly have symptoms when their blood glucose 

is low, or 

• 

How the user is feeling doesn’t match the results from their test-

ing at an alternate site. 

ALTERNATE SITE

Fingertips

note:

It is important to consult a physician before testing at alternate 

sites. Changes in blood glucose levels typically are identified 

sooner from tests on samples from fingertips than from samples 

from alternate sites. Testing during or after a meal, physical ex-

ercise, or any other event that will impact glucose levels can al-

ter your blood glucose test results. Use fingers for most accurate 

testing.
