PRECAUTION
- The glucose test results of blood samples taken from different site might be varied in certain conditions such
as your glucose is changing rapidly following a drink, a meal, insulin dose or exercise. In these cases, only
fingertip should be used.
- DO NOT test on the palm or forearm if you are testing for hypoglycemia (Low blood glucose).
- Fingertip samples can show the rapid change of glucose faster than palm or forearm samples.
- As the blood flow taken from forearm is slower than fingertip or palm, we recommend using the
GD500 lancing device with Clear Cap for testing sites other than fingertip.
