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 fingertips to checktheir blood glucose levels. This system provides you to test on your forearm, upper arm, calf, or thighwith the equivalent results to fingertip testing.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 fingertip.When to use AST?Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affectblood glucose levels. Capillary blood at fingertip reflectsthese 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 finger 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 fluctuating.•You are pregnant.About Alternative Site Testing (AST)Instruction Manual 5Ideal Blood Gluco Manual FEB09:Ideal Blood Gluco Manual 08 4/5/09 11:01 AM Page 5

Comparing Meter AndLaboratory 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 testedwithin 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 significantly 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 finger 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 fluid (severedehydration) may also cause a meter result to be different from a laboratory result.References1.

Care And MaintenanceYour meter does not require special maintenance. As no blood or control solution comes in contactwith the meter, there is no special cleaning required. Take care to avoid getting dirt, dust, blood,control solution or water inside the meter through the test port. Store the meter in its carrying caseafter each use. A cloth dampened with water and mild detergent can be used to wipe down theoutside of the meter. Your meter is a precision instrument. Please handle it with care.Care And MaintenanceInstruction Manual 31Ideal Blood Gluco Manual FEB09:Ideal Blood Gluco Manual 08 4/5/09 11:01 AM Page 31
