How-To Guide

GlucoSure Link Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Alternative Site Testing SHOULD NOT be used:

• You have Hypoglycemic unawareness (not able to tell if you have low blood sugar)

• Within 2 hours of a meal, exercise, or medication.

• You will be operating machinery or driving a car.

• You are sick.

• You think your blood glucose is low.

• Your AST results do not match the way you feel.

• You are testing for hyperglycemia.

• Your routine glucose results are often uctuating.

Consult with your healthcare professional to decide if AST is right for you.

NOTE:

• Rubbing forearm until warm before lancing will help minimize the difference with

ngertip test results. The palm (at the base of the thumb) does not require rubbing

before testing.

• If results from alternate site testing do not agree with how you feel, use ngertip

testing instead.
