Important Information About Forearm Testing (continued)
• You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern
about hypoglycemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a
car, particularly if you suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness
(lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction), as forearm
testing may fail to detect hypoglycemia.
What you should do:
• Use forearm or fingertip samples for testing prior to, or more than
two hours after, meals, insulin doses, or physical exercise.
• Routine testing before meals can be done either at the fingertip or
the forearm.
• Consult your healthcare professional before you begin
using the forearm for testing.
To aid in obtaining a blood sample from
the forearm, replace the regular sampler
cap with the OneTouch
®
UltraClear
™
Cap.
If necessary, set the sampler for a deeper
puncture.
Install the OneTouch

Cap.
