SECTION 3
Note: Multiple Site Testing
Consult with your healthcare professional prior to testing from a
site other than your fingertips.
Blood glucose testing results from sites other than your fingertip
could be significantly different. These differences may vary from
individual to individual, and are physiological differences caused
by factors such as food intake, health state and medication
being used.
If you perform testing other than from a fingertip:
A. Select a soft, fleshy area of skin that is free from hair and
visible veins.
B. Wash the puncture site with soap and warm water. Rinse and
dry thoroughly. This ensures cleanliness and increases blood
flow to the puncture site.
C. After you have determined the
proper depth of your selected site,
set the lancing device for that
depth of puncture. Firmly press the
lancing device against the skin at
the selected lancing site, then
press the button to lance the skin.
When a drop of blood forms on
the surface of your skin, bring the meter and test strip up to
touch the drop.
