What is AST?

AlternativeSiteTesting(AST)meansyoucanusepartsof

the body other than your ﬁngertips to check your blood

glucose levels. The Prodigy AutoCode

Meter allows you to

test on your palm, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh.

See Figure 1.

What is the advantage?

Fingertips feel pain more readily

because they are full of nerve

endings(receptors).Atotherbody

sites, nerve endings are not so

numerous and you will not feel as

much pain as you will experience at

the ﬁngertip.

When to use AST?

Food, medication, illness, stress,

and exercise can affect blood

glucose levels. Capillary blood at

the ﬁngertip reﬂects these changes

faster than capillary blood at other sites.

Therefore, if you are testing your blood glucose level

during or immediately after a meal, physical exercise

or stressful event, take the blood sample from your

ﬁngertip only.
