Use Fingertip When Testing:
•  Within two hours after a meal
•  Within two hours after insulin dosing
•  Within two hours after physical activity
•  If you have a history of hypoglycemia, are experiencing low blood  
  sugar, or suffer from hypoglycemic unawareness (you cannot tell  when  
 
  you have low blood glucose)
•  To confirm your blood glucose level if your AST result is not consistent with
  how you feel
•  During times of stress or illness
 
Consider Alternate Site Testing When:
• Testing before a meal
• You are in a fasting state
• Two hours have passed since a meal
• Two hours have passed since insulin dosing
• Two hours have passed since physical activity
