Alternative Site Testing

Alternative Site Testing (AST):

Use AST only when it has been

more than two hours after any

one of the following:

a meal, diabetes medication,

or exercise.

Attach the clear AST

endcap to the MICROLET2

lancing device.

Select a puncture

site from a fleshy

area on forearm or

palm. Avoid veins,

hair, moles, bones,

and tendons.

IMPORTANT: Do not use Alternative Site Testing under

the following conditions. Use fingertip testing in any of

these cases:

• If you think your blood glucose is low (hypoglycemia).

• When blood glucose is changing rapidly (after a meal,

insulin dose or exercise).

• If you have hypoglycemic unawareness (lack of symptoms).

• If you get alternative site blood glucose results that do not

agree with how you feel.

• During illness or times of stress.

• If you will be driving a car or operating machinery.

Consult your healthcare professional to determine if

alternative site testing is right for you.
