Important Information
about Using Blood
Samples from the
Forearm, Upper Arm, or
Base of the Thumb:
•Contact your healthcare
professional before you begin
using any one of these
alternative sites to test your
blood glucose.
•Sampling from any one of
these alternative sites may
cause minor bruising and may
leave marks that go away in a
short time.
•There may be times when
alternative site results are
different from fingertip results.
This happens when blood
glucose levels change rapidly
(for example, after you eat a
meal, after you take insulin, or
during or after exercise).
•Use alternative sites to
monitor your blood glucose
before, or more than two
hours after, you eat a meal,
take insulin, or exercise.
