Alternative Site Testing (AST)

Understanding Alternative Site Testing

Alternative site results may differ from the fingertip when glucose levels are changing rapidly (e.g. after a meal,

taking insulin, or during or after exercise). Please read the following information before you test other places.

Palm and Forearm test:

 In a pre-meal or fasting state (More than

two hours since the last meal)

 Two hours or more after taking insulin

 Two hours or more after exercise

Fingertip test only:

 If sick

 If blood glucose is low

 After exercising

 Two hours or less after eating

 When basal insulin is most active

 After injecting rapid-acting insulin (two

hours or less

)

What is AST?

Besides the fingertip, you can test the palm and

forearm.

What is the advantage of AST?

You have the option of testing other places on

your body besides the fingertip.
