Alternative Site Testing
What is AST (Alternative Site Testing)?
Usually, when someone tests their glucose, they take the
blood sample from the tip of the finger. However, since there
are many nerve endings distributed there, it is quite painful.
When doing a glucose test, using different parts of the body
such as the forearms, palms, thighs, and calves can reduce
the pain during testing. This method of testing with different
parts of the body is called Alternative Site Testing. While AST
may reduce the pain during testing, it may not be simple for
everyone and the following precautions should be observed
during testing.
Alternative Sites for Testing
Things to know when using AST
Please understand the following things before testing at
alternative site (forearms, palms, thighs, and calves).
The capillary blood of the fingertip shows the change in glucose
more rapidly than AST. Therefore, the test results from the
fingertip test and AST may differ. This is because things such as
lifestyle and ingested food have an effect on glucose levels.
Acceptable situations for AST

Note: Results from alternative site and fingertip samples
may differ from each other as there is a time lag for the
glucose levels to reach the same value. Use a fingertip for
testing if you suffer from hypoglycemia or have experienced
hypoglycemic shock or symptoms.
Note: If the sample drop of blood runs or spreads due to
contact with hair or with a line in your palm, do not use that
sample. Try puncturing again in a smoother area.
HI and Lo Messages
