We strongly recommend you do AST ONLY in the fol -
lowing intervals:
In a pre-meal or fasting state (more than 2 hours since
the last meal).
Two hours or more after taking insulin.
Two hours or more after exercise.
Do NOT use AST if:
You think your blood glucose is low.
If you are awareness of being hypoglycemia.
Your AST results do not match the way you feel.
You are testing for hyperglycemia.
Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.
If you are pregnant.
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 the site without
rubbing exhibits a measurably different glucose concen -
tration than blood from the finger. When the puncture
site was rubbed prior to blood extraction, the difference
was significantly reduced.

If you would like to obtain blood from sites other than the
finger, replace the lancet device cap with the clear cap. The
clear cap for AST is an optional accessory, please contact
your local customer service.
NOTE: We suggest that before getting a drop of blood rub
the pucture site about 20 seconds before penetration.
