Important Information About Forearm Testing (continued)

• You should also use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern

about hypoglycemia (insulin reactions) such as when driving a

car, particularly if you suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness

(lack of symptoms to indicate an insulin reaction), as forearm

testing may fail to detect hypoglycemia.

What you should do:

• Use forearm or fingertip samples for testing prior to, or more than

two hours after, meals, insulin doses, or physical exercise.

• Routine testing before meals can be done either at the fingertip or

the forearm.

• Consult your healthcare professional before you begin

using the forearm for testing.

To aid in obtaining a blood sample from

the forearm, replace the regular sampler

cap with the OneTouch

UltraClear

™

Cap.

If necessary, set the sampler for a deeper

puncture.

Install the OneTouch

UltraClear

™

Cap.
