6IDEAL LIFE Gluco-Manager™About Alternative Site Testing (AST)IMPORTANT: There are limitations for doing alternative site testing (AST).Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST.What is AST?Alternative site testing (AST) means that people use parts of the body other than ngertips to checktheir blood glucose levels. This system provides you to test on your forearm, upper arm, calf, or thighwith the equivalent results to ngertip testing when used at appropriate times.What is the advantage?Fingertips feel pain more readily because they are full ofnerve endings (receptors). At other body sites, since nerveendings weren’t so condensed, you won’t feel as muchpain as at the ngertip.When to use AST?Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect ablood glucose levels. Capillary blood at ngertip reectsthese changes faster than capillary blood at other sites.Therefore when testing blood glucose during orimmediately after meal, physical exercise, or any otherevent, take blood sample from your nger only.We strongly recommend you do AST in the following intervals:• In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last meal).• 2 hours or more after taking insulin.• 2 hours or more after exercise.Do NOT use AST if:• You think your blood glucose is low.• You are unaware of hypoglycemia.• Your AST results do not match the way you feel.• You are testing for hyperglycemia.• Your routine glucose results are often uctuating.• You are pregnant.About Alternative Site Testing (AST)

24 IDEAL LIFE Gluco-Manager™Comparing Meter And Laboratory ResultsThe meter provides you with whole blood equivalent results.The result you obtain from your metermay different somewhat from your laboratory result due to normal variation. Meter results can beaffected by factors and conditions that do not affect laboratory results in the same way (see test strippackage insert for typical accuracy and precision data and for important information on limitations).To make an accurate comparison between meter and laboratory results, follow the guidelines below.Before you go to the lab:• Perform a control solution test to make sure that the meter is working properly.• It is best to fast for at least eight hours before doing comparison tests.• Take your meter with you to the lab.While at the lab:• Make sure that the samples for both tests (the meter test and the lab test) are taken and tested within 15 minutes of each other.• Wash your hands before obtaining a blood sample.• Never use your meter with blood that has been collected in a gray-top test tube.• Use fresh capillary blood only.You may still have variation from the result because blood glucose levels can change signicantly overshort periods, especially if you have recently eaten, exercised, taken medication, or experiencedstress1. In addition, if you have eaten recently, the blood glucose level from a nger stick can be upto 70mg/dL (3.9 mmol/L) higher than blood drawn from a vein (venous sample) used for a lab test2.Therefore, it is best to fast for eight hours before doing comparison tests. Factors such as the amountof red blood cells in the blood (a high or low hematocrit) or the loss of body uid (severe dehydration) may also cause a meter result to be different froma laboratory result.References1.
