BACKGROUND An estimated 2.5 million diabetic patients in the United States practice self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). The validity of the glucose values they obtain is in doubt. An American Diabetes Association consensus panel reported that up to 50% of SMBG determinations might vary more than 20% from their true value. Accurate glucose values are an integral part of intensive treatment ...
متن کاملElectromagnetic Radiofrequency Radiation Emitted from GSM Mobile Phones Decreases the Accuracy of Home Blood Glucose Monitors

متن کاملProblems in home monitoring of blood glucose.
Two hundred and forty blood glucose readings were made on 5 Glucochek machines by 2 different operators. The results on all machines correlated poorly with equivalent results from an automatic glucose analyser with major discrepancies at all glucose concentrations. There was a wide gap in performance between the 2 operators. Analysis of variance suggested that errors were not only due to inter-...
متن کاملAccuracy of Four Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems
Method: Accuracy of the four blood glucose monitoring systems for fingertip capillary blood testing was assessed at three diabetes clinics. A total of 142 diabetic subjects were included in the study. At each study site, the trained operator tested the subject’s fingertip blood with the four systems and a YSI glucose analyzer, which served as the reference. Accuracy was evaluated according to I...
