Available Alternate Sites Testing

Palm and Forearm

Tyson Bio HS200-B Blood Glucose Monitoring System provides you alternate sites

testing (AST). This system allows you to test on the palm and the forearm with the

equivalent results to ngertip testing.

Physiological dierences in the circulation between the nger and other test sites

may result in dierences in blood glucose measurements. Changes in blood glucose

may be observed in nger blood samples sooner than blood samples from the

alternate sites. If you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), we

recommend that you test on your ngertips.

There are limitations for doing AST.

Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST.

AST measurements should not be used to calibrate continuous

glucose monitors (CGMs).

AST measurements should not be used for insulin dose

calculations.

Forearm

Palm

AST ONLY in the following intervals:

˙In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal)

˙Two hours or more after taking insulin

˙Two hours or more after exercise

DO NOT use AST if:

˙You think your blood glucose is low

˙You are unaware of hypoglycemia

˙Your AST results do not match the way you feel

˙You are testing for hyperglycemia

˙Your routine glucose results are often uctuating
