ABOUT ALTERNATIVE SITE TESTING (AST)

Important: There’re limitations for doing AST.

Please consult your healthcare professional before

you do AST.

What is AST?

Alternate site testing (AST) means that people use parts of

the body other than ngertips to check their blood glucose

levels. UltraTRAK PRO Test Strips allow you to test on the

palm, the forearm, the upper arm, the calf, and the thigh

with the equivalent results to n-

gertip testing

What’s the advantage?

Fingertips feel pain more read-

ily because they are full of nerve

endings (receptors). At other body

sites, since nerve endings weren’t

so condensed, you won’t feel as

much pain as at the ngertip.

When to use AST?

Food, medication, illness, stress and exercise can

affect blood glucose levels. Capillary blood at n-

gertip reects these changes faster than capillary

blood at other sites. Therefore when testing blood

glucose during or immediately after meal, physical exer-

cise, or any other event, take blood sample from your

nger only.
