Test principle
Glucose in the blood sample mixes with special chemicals in the test strip and a small electric current is produced. The strength of this current changes with the amount of glucose in the blood sample. Your meter measures the current, calculates your blood glucose level, displays the result, and stores it in its memory.

Choosing the right sampling site at the right time
The OneTouch Ultra2 Meter allows you to sample blood from your fingertip forearm or palm. At times, results obtained at the forearm or palm may be different from a fingertip measurement. Talk to your healthcare professional before you begin using your forearm or palm for sampling.

Lancing and sampling from an alternate site
Sampling from your palm or forearm allows you to use your fingertips less often. You
may find that obtaining a blood sample from an alternate site is less painful than using
a fingertip. Getting a blood sample from your forearm or palm is different than getting
a sample from your fingertips.

	Forearm sampling Choose a fleshy area of the forearm away from bone, visible veins and hair. Sometimes there is less blood flow to the forearm than to the fingertips. To help you get a large enough drop of blood, you may gently massage or apply warmth to the site to increase blood flow.
	Palm sampling Choose a fleshy area on the palm below your thumb or little finger. Select a spot with no visible veins and away from deep lines, which may cause your blood sample to smear.
