Abbott Diabetes Care FreeStyle Flash Blood Glucose Monitor - Manual (Page 7)

WARNING: We recommend that you test on your fingers or palm
(at the base of the thumb) if you are testing for hypoglycemia (low
blood glucose), or if you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness.
Important Health-Related Information
(continued)
• Changes in blood glucose may be observed in finger or palm (at
the base of the thumb) blood samples sooner than blood samples
from the forearm and other alternate sites. Vigorous rubbing of
the alternate test sites before lancing helps to minimize the difference
between finger or palm (at the base of the thumb) and alternate site
test results.
