Limitations and Considerations: Forearm and Palm Testing

Some patients test their blood glucose at sites other than the
finger because it is generally less painful.
NOTE: Results from the forearm may be different from fingertip
results when glucose levels are changing rapidly, e.g., after a meal,
after taking insulin, or during or after exercise. Only use finger or
palm testing during these times.
The Nova Max Plus reduces the pain of blood glucose monitoring
CAUTION: Always seek the advice of your doctor or healthcare
professional before choosing to use forearm and palm sites.
Bruising may occur with forearm and palm testing.
