System requires a very small blood
drop to perform a test. You may obtain it from a
fingertip or forearm. (See page 26 for information on
obtaining a blood sample from the forearm.) Choose a
different puncture site each time you test. Repeated
punctures in the same spot may cause soreness and
calluses.
