Available Alternative Sites Testing : Palm and Forearm.

TysonBio EVOLVE Blood Glucose Monitoring System provides you alternative sites testing (AST). This system provides you to test on the palm and the

forearm with the equivalent results to ngertip testing.

There are limitations for doing AST. Please consult your healthcare professional before you do AST.

Forearm

Palm

Important Information

Page 6

Alternative site results differ from ngertip results when glucose levels are

changing rapidly such as after a meal, after taking insulin, during exercise,

or when you are ill or under stress. Use blood from a ngertip rather than an

alternative site if:

● you think your blood glucose is low,

● you don’t regularly have symptoms when your blood glucose is low, or

● how you feel doesn’t match the results from the alternative site.

● when you have just taken insulin, or any time during or after exercise.

● when there are unknown variables occurring in your day, such as illness.

● whenever you are about to drive.

CAUTION:

1. Physiologic differences in the circulation between the nger and other test

sites like the forearm and palm may result in differences in blood glucose

measurements from the other test sites and your ngertips. Changes in

blood glucose may be observed in nger blood samples sooner than blood

samples from the forearm and other alternate sites. Rub the alternate test sites about 20 seconds before lancing. If you are testing for hypoglycemia (low blood glucose), or if you suffer from hypoglycemia unawareness, we

recommend that you test on your ngertips.

Page 7

2. Talk to your doctor to see if alternative site testing is right for you. With a

little bit of education, you can give your ngertips a rest and maybe test

more often than you do now. For people with diabetes, more frequent testing is a good thing. Just remember: any time you want to be sure of an ac-

curate, up-to-date blood glucose reading, test on your ngertip.

3. We strongly recommend you do AST ONLY in the following 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.

● You are unaware of hypoglycemia.

● Your AST results do not match the way you feel.

● You are testing for hyperglycemia.

● Your routine glucose results are often uctuating.

● If you are pregnant.

Page 8

● Low or high blood glucose readings can indicate a potentially serious med-

ical condition. If your blood glucose reading is unusually low or high, or if you do not feel the way your reading indicates, repeat the test with a new test strip. If your reading is not consistent with your symptoms or if your blood glucose result is less than 60 mg/dL (3.3 mmol/L) or higher than 240 mg/dL (13.3 mmol/L) you should contact your healthcare professional and follow his or her treatment advice.

● Any change or administer of medication based on the TysonBio EVOLVE

blood glucose test results without the consent and advice of a physician or healthcare professional is not recommended.

● Severe dehydration and excessive water loss may cause false low results.

If you believe you are suffering from severe dehydration, consult your physician immediately.
