 The freedom to choose where to test.
Less pain when you test on your forearm
- Freedom to test on your forearm, which has fewer nerve endings and gives sensitive fingers a break.
- 3 out of 4 patients rated the pain of forearm testing as no pain at all or much less than a fingerstick.
Less blood can mean less pain - even on the fingers
- Tiny blood sample allows for a shallow less painful stick.*
- 3 out of 4 patients rated the pain of forearm testing as no pain at all or much less than a fingerstick.
Forearm testing guidelines are easy to follow.
- Most people take a fasting blood glucose test - that is, they test prior to meals or more than two hours after meals. For a fasting blood glucose test, you can choose to test on the forearm or the finger.
- If you test within 2 hours after a meal, an insulin dose, or exercise, you should test from your finger.
Recent Studies have demonstrated:
Test results using samples taken from the forearm may differ from fingertip samples when blood glucose levels are changing rapidly, such as:
- Within two hours after meals, an insulin dose or exercise.
Understand how to get the most from forearm testing
- Review "Important Information about Forearm Testing" and talk to your doctor or diabetes specialist nurse.
- Test from your finger if you normally have concern about hypoglycaemia.
- Test from your finger if you feel that your blood glucose level is changing rapidly.
- Test from your finger if you routinely test after meals, an insulin dose, or exercise.

Important information about Forearm Testing
- Under certain conditions, blood glucose test results obtained using samples taken from your forearm may differ significantly from fingertip samples.
- The conditions in which these differences are most likely to occur are when your blood glucose level is changing rapidly such as following a meal, an insulin dose or associated with physical exercise
- When blood glucose is changing rapidly, fingertip samples show these changes more quickly than forearm samples.
- When your blood glucose is falling, testing with a fingertip may identify a hypoglycaemic level sooner than a test with an forearm sample.
- Use forearm samples only for testing prior to, or more than two hours after, meals, insulin dose or physical exercise.
- Testing performed within two hours after meals, an insulin dose or physical exercise, or whenever you feel that your glucose levels may be changing rapidly, should be done from the fingertip.
- You should use fingertip testing whenever you have a concern about hypoglycaemia such as when you drive a car, particularly if you suffer from hypoglcaemic unawareness, as forearm testing may fail to detect hypoglycaemia.
