ABOUT ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING (AST)

Important: There are limitations for doing 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 check their

blood glucose levels. This system provides you to test

on the pam, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf, or the l

thigh with the equivalent results to fingertip testing.

What’s the advantage?

Fingertips feel pain more readily

because they are full of nerve

endings (receptors). At other

body sites, since nerve endings

were not so condensed, you will

not feel as much pain as at the

fingertip.

When to use AST?

Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can affect

blood glucose levels. Capillary blood at fingertip reflects

these changes faster than capillary blood at other sites.

Therefore when testing blood glucose during or immedi-

ately after meal, physical exercise, or any other events,

take blood samples from your finger only.
