DCO_06344501B_OU2_OB_USe.qxd 12/21/05 8:03 AM Page 15 Choosing the right sampling site at the right time The OneTouch® Ultra® 2 Meter allows you to sample blood from your fingertip, forearm or palm. At times, results obtained at the forearm or palm may be different from a fingertip measurement. Talk to your healthcare professional before you begin using your forearm or palm for sampling.
DCO_06344501B_OU2_OB_USe.qxd 12/21/05 8:03 AM Page 16 æ CAUTION: Do not test on your forearm or palm when: Getting a blood sample • 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.
DCO_06344501B_OU2_OB_USe.qxd 12/21/05 8:03 AM Page 17 Choose a different puncture site each time you test. Repeated punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and calluses. Getting a blood sample If bruising occurs at an alternate site or you have difficulty getting a sample, consider sampling from a fingertip instead. You may want to review the choice of sites with your healthcare professional.
DCO_06344501B_OU2_OB_USe.qxd 12/21/05 8:03 AM Page 18 Getting a blood sample 2.

DCO_06344501B_OU2_OB_USe.qxd 12/21/05 8:03 AM Page 20 Getting a blood sample 7. Get a round drop of blood Gently squeeze and/or massage your fingertip until a round drop of blood of at least one microliter ( actual size) forms on your fingertip. If the blood smears or runs, do not use that sample. Dry the area and gently squeeze another drop of blood or puncture a new site.
DCO_06344501B_OU2_OB_USe.qxd 12/21/05 8:03 AM Page 21 Getting a blood sample Lancing and sampling from an alternate site Sampling from your palm or forearm 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 fingertips. Forearm sampling Choose a fleshy area of the forearm away from bone, visible veins and hair.
