Operation Manual

CAUTION:

Do Not test on your forearm or palm when:

• You think your blood glucose is rapidly falling, such as

within two hours of exercise or a rapid-acting insulin

injection or insulin pump bolus. Testing with a fingertip

sample may identify hypoglycemia or an insulin reaction

sooner than testing with a forearm or palm sample.

• It has been less than two hours after a meal, a rapid-acting

insulin injection or insulin pump bolus, physical exercise,

or you think your glucose level is changing rapidly.

• You are concerned about the possibility of hypoglycemia

or an insulin reaction, such as when driving a car. This is

especially important if you suffer from hypoglycemia

unawareness (lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin

reaction).

Remember: Consult with your healthcare

professional before using your forearm or palm

for testing.
