Alternate Site Test
The IGM-1001D Blood Glucose Monitoring System gives
you the ability to obtain a blood sample for testing your
sugar from different areas of your body.
The figure shown above displays the areas where you can
test using your IGM-1001D meter.
You may test you blood sugar from your forearm, upper arm,
palm (ventral palm or dorsal hand), fingertips, thigh, or calf.
IMPORTANT
It is recommended that alternate site testing be used when
sugars are stable: before meals and before bedtime.
However, when sugars are changing, blood from the
fingertip may show these changes sooner than blood from
other sites.
LIMITATION
1. Alternative site testing results should never be used to
calibrate continuous glucose monitoring systems.
2. Alternative sampling results should never be used in
insulin dosing calculations.
Lancing and sampling form an alternate site area
Sampling from your upper arm, forearm, dorsal hand, ventral
palm, thigh, or calf allows you to use your fingertips less
often.
You may find that obtaining a blood sample from an
alternate site is less painful than using a fingertip. Getting a
blood sample from your forearm or palm is different than
getting a sample from your fingertip.
Ventral palm/Dorsal hand
Choose a fleshy area on the
palm, below your thumb or
pinky finger. Select a spot
without any visible veins and
away from any deep lines. This
may cause your blood sample
to smear.
Forearm
Upper arm
Calf
Thigh
Choose a fleshy area of the forearm, upper arm, thigh, or
calf away from bone, visible veins and/or hair. Sometimes
there is less blood flow to these areas than to the fingertip.
To help you get a large enough drop of blood, you may
gently message or apply a heating pad to the site to
increase blood flow.
IMPORTANT
We recommend that you test on your fingertips if you are
testing for hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) or if you are
suffering from hypoglycemia unawareness
To ensure accurate results when lancing your arm (forearm
or upper arm), leg (calf or thigh), or palm (ventral palm or
dorsal hand), clean the test site with soap and water.
Make sure there is no cream or lotion on the test site.
Thoroughly dry your hands and test site.
WARNING
To reduce the chances of getting infection: never share a
lancet or reusable lancing device with anyone.
