Preparing to Test Your Blood Glucose From an Alternate

Choose a Site:  Select a soft, fleshy area on the  
palm that is free of visible veins and moles and away from 
bone. Wash the area with warm, soapy water. Rinse and 
dry completely. If you use alcohol wipes to cleanse the site, 
make sure the area is dry before lancing the site.
