Important Information about Using Blood Samples from the Forearm, Upper Arm, or Base of the Thumb:

•Contact your healthcare professional before you begin using any one of these alternative sites to test your blood glucose.

•Sampling from any one of these alternative sites may cause minor bruising and may leave marks that go away in a short time.

•There may be times when alternative site results are different from fingertip results. This happens when blood glucose levels change rapidly (for example, after you eat a meal, after you take insulin, or during or after exercise).

•Use alternative sites to monitor your blood glucose before, or more than two hours after, you eat a meal, take insulin, or exercise.
