Before you begin
Before using this product to test your blood glucose, carefully read this booklet
and the inserts that come with the OneTouch®Select™Test Strips and OneTouch®
Select™and OneTouch®Select™ High Control Solutions. Take note of warnings
and cautions throughout this booklet, which are identified with . Many people
find it helpful to practice the test with control solution before testing with blood
for the first time. See page 38 in the Control solution testing section.
Intended use
The OneTouch®Select™Blood Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used
for the quantitative measurement of glucose (sugar) in fresh capillary whole
blood. The OneTouch®Select™System is intended for self-testing outside the body
(in vitro diagnostic use) by people with diabetes at home and by health care
professionals in a clinical setting as an aid to monitor the effectiveness of diabetes
control. t should not be used for the diagnosis of diabetes or for testing newborns.
Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals in the test strip and
a small electric current is produced. The strength of this current changes with
the amount of glucose in the blood sample. Your meter measures the current,
calculates your blood glucose level, displays the result, and stores it in its
memory.

Choosing the right sampling site at the right time
The OneTouch®Select™Meter allows you to sample blood from your fingertip,
forearm or palm. Forearm and palm sampling is also referred to as “alternate
site testing” (AST). At times, results obtained at the forearm or palm may be
different from a fingertip measurement. Talk to your health care professional
before you begin using your forearm or palm for sampling.
If you are testing:
Routinely before meals
Prior to or more than two hours after:
• a meal
• a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump bolus
• exercise
When your blood glucose is changing rapidly, such as:
• within two hours after a meal
• within two hours after a rapid-acting
insulin injection or insulin pump bolus, or
• during or within two hours after exercise
When you are concerned about the possibility of
hypoglycemia (low blood sugar)

CAUTION: Do Not test on your forearm or palm when:
• You think your blood glucose is rapidly falling, such as within two
hours of exercise or a rapid-acting insulin injection or insulin pump
bolus. Testing with a fingertip sample may identify hypoglycemia
or an insulin reaction sooner than testing with a forearm or palm
sample.
• t has been less than two hours after a meal, a rapid-acting insulin
injection or insulin pump bolus, physical exercise, or you think
your glucose level is changing rapidly.
• You are concerned about the possibility of hypoglycemia or an
insulin reaction, such as when driving a car. This is especially
important if you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness (lack of
symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction).
Remember: Consult with your health care professional before using
your forearm or palm for testing.
