TESTING YOUR BLOOD GLUCOSE
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 ngertip 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 suer from hypoglycemia unawareness (lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction).
Getting a blood sample
Getting a blood sample from your forearm or palm is dierent than getting a sample from your ngertips. Follow these
instructions to get a sucient blood drop for testing.
Rinse and dry thoroughly.
The clear cap is for forearm or palm sampling only. Replace the lancing device cap with the clear cap.
Insert a lancet and snap on clear cap
Carefully insert a new, sterile lancet. Snap on the clear cap.
Adjust the depth setting
You may need a deeper setting to get a sucient sample for testing.
Twist the cap to increase the depth.
Be sure to cock the lancing device.
Choose a sample site
Choose a spot away from bone, veins, and hair.
Massage the site to increase blood ow.
Select a spot with no visible veins and avoid deep lines, which may
cause your blood sample to smear.
Palm
Forearm
CAUTION: Before testing, make sure to wash the puncture site with soap and water.
