Glucose test strip Discard Function Alternate site testing
1. After checking your test result, slide the ejector button twice forward
to remove the test strip from the meter.
2. Discard the used strip and lancet to a proper place, according to the
local regulation.
Important Information About Using Alternative Sites Testing :
- Alternate sites where you can test are dorsal hand, ventral palm, upper arm,
forearm, calf, and thigh.
- Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained using samples
taken from your alternate sites may differ significantly from fingertip samples.
Do not use alternate sites when your blood glucose is changing rapidly such as
following a meal, as insulin dose, or associated with physical exercise.
- When blood glucose is changing rapidly, fingertip samples show these changes
more quickly than alternate sites samples.
- When your blood glucose is falling, testing with a fingertip sample may identify
a hypoglycemic (low blood glucose) level sooner than a test with a alternate
sites sample.
- Use alternate sites samples only for testing prior to or more than two hours after
meal, insulin doses, or physical exercise.
- Testing performed within two hours after meals, insulin doses, or physical
exercise or whenever you feel that your glucose levels may be changing rapidly
should be done from the fingertip.
- You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern about
hypoglycemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a car, unawareness (lack
of symptom to indicate a sp ainrsticuulinla rrley aifc ytiooun )s, uafsfe fro
rfreoamrm h tyepsotignlgyc memayic fail to detect hypoglycemia.
