Blood Glucose Meters Owner’s Manual

There are important limitations to Alternate Site Testing (AST).

Please consult your healthcare professional before performing AST.

What is AST?

Alternate Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts of the body other

thanyourngertipstocheckyourbloodglucoselevels.Prodigy

meters

allow you to test on your palm, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh.

See Figure 1.

What is the Advantage?

Fingertips feel pain more readily because they are full of nerve endings

(receptors). At other body sites, nerve

endings are not so numerous and you

will not feel as much pain as you will

experienceatthengertip.

When to use AST?

Food, medication, illness, stress and

exercise can affect blood glucose levels.

Capillarybloodatthengertipreects

these changes faster than capillary

blood at other sites. Therefore, if you

are testing your blood glucose level

during or immediately after a meal,

physical exercise or stressful event,

take the blood sample from your

ngertiponly.
