We strongly recommend you perform AST ONLY during the following
intervals:
• In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since the last
meal).
• Two or more hours after taking insulin.
• Two or more hours after exercise.
Do NOT use AST if:
• You think your blood glucose is low.
• You are unaware of hypoglycemia.
• Your AST results do not correspond the way you feel.
• You are testing for hyperglycemia.
• Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
How to increase the accuracy?
Stimulating blood perfusion by rubbing the puncture site prior to
blood extraction has a significant influence on the glucose value
obtained. Blood from a site that has not been rubbed exhibits a
measurably different glucose concentration than blood from the
finger. When the puncture site is rubbed prior to blood extraction,
the difference is markedly reduced.
Please follow suggestions below before puncturing the skin:
• Rub the puncture site approximately 20 seconds before penetration.
• Use a clear cap (included in the kit) while setting the lancing device.
