ProdigyOwner’s ManualTalking MeterProdigyTalking MeterOwner’s ManualAbout ting(AST)There are important limitations to AST. Please consult yourhealthcare professional before you perform AST.What is AST?Alternative Site Testing (AST) means you can use parts ofthe body other than your fingertips to check your bloodglucose levels. The Prodigy AutoCode Meter allows you totest on your palm, forearm, upper arm, calf or thigh.See Figure 1.What is the advantage?Fingertips feel pain more readilybecause they are full of nerveendings (receptors). At other bodysites, nerve endings are not sonumerous and you will not feel asmuch pain as you will experience atthe fingertip.Use AST only:v Two hours or more after your last meal.v Two hours or more after taking insulin.v Two hours or more after exercise.v During steady state blood glucose conditions.Do not use AST if:v You have reason to believe you have hypoglycemia orhyperglycemia.v Your routine glucose results are often fluctuating.v You are pregnant.*To increase the accuracy when using AST, rub the puncturesite before extracting blood.When to use AST?Food, medication, illness, stress,and exercise can affect bloodglucose levels. Capillary blood atFigure 1the fingertip reflects these changesfaster than capillary blood at other sites.Therefore, if you are testing your blood glucose levelduring or immediately after a meal, physical exerciseor stressful event, take the blood sample from yourfingertip only.www.prodigymeter.comDiagnostic Devices, Inc.61.800.243.2636Diagnostic Devices, Inc.7
