INFORMATION ABOUT ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING (AST)

There are limitations for doing AST. Please consult your

healthcare professional before you conduct AST. The

Wireless Smart Gluco-Monitoring System limits usage to

steady-state blood glucose conditions only.

What is Alternate Site Testing?

Alternate Site Testing (AST) is blood glucose self-monitoring

using a blood sample collected from somewhere other than

the ﬁngertips. The Wireless Smart Gluco-Monitoring System

(BG5) allows you to test on the palm, forearm, upper arm,

calf, or thigh with equivalent results to ﬁngertip testing.

Upper Arm

Forearm

Palm

Finger

What is the Advantage of Alternative Site Testing?

Pain is felt more readily on the ﬁngertips because they are

full of nerve endings (receptors). At other body sites where

nerve endings are not so condensed, pain is not felt as

acutely.

Thigh

Calf

When to Use Alternative Site Testing?

Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect

blood glucose levels. Capillary blood from the ﬁngertips

reﬂects these changes faster than capillary blood from other

sites. Therefore, when testing blood glucose levels during or

immediately after one of these , such as meals or exercise,

take a blood sample from your ﬁngertips only. AST should

be done only during steady–state times when glucose levels

are not changing rapidly.

AST is suitable in the following instances:

• In a pre-meal or fasting state (two hours or more after the

last meal)

• Two hours or more after taking insulin

• Two hours or more after exercising

Caution: AST should not be used to calibrate continuous

glucose monitoring systems (CGMs). Results from AST

should not be used in insulin dose calculations. Do not use

AST if:

• You think your blood glucose is low

• You believe you may be hypoglycemic

• You are testing for hyperglycemia

• Your routine glucose results ﬂuctuate often

• You are pregnant
