Factors affecting blood glucose monitoring: sources of errors in measurement.
Glucose monitoring has become an integral part of diabetes care but has some limitations in accuracy. Accuracy may be limited due to strip manufacturing variances, strip storage, and aging. They may also be due to limitations on the environment such as temperature or altitude or to patient factors such as improper coding, incorrect hand washing, altered hematocrit, or naturally occurring interf...
متن کاملParameters affecting postprandial blood glucose: effects of blood glucose measurement errors.
BACKGROUND The Diabetes Error Test Model (DETM) has been developed to characterize the clinical relevance of the large and varying margins of error of parameters affecting postprandial blood glucose (BG) levels, which increase the risk for hypo- or hyperglycemia. METHODS The DETM is based on a treatment concept aimed at normoglycemia after meals. The model includes as parameters (a) preprandi...
متن کاملImproving the quality of self-monitoring blood glucose measurement: a study in reducing calibration errors.
BACKGROUND Two independent studies reported that 16% of people who self-monitor blood glucose used incorrectly coded meters. The degree of analytical error, however, was not characterized. Our study objectives were to demonstrate that miscoding can cause analytical errors and to characterize the potential amount of bias that can occur. The impact of calibration error with three selfblood glucos...
متن کاملHeidelberg retinal flowmetry: factors affecting blood flow measurement.
AIMS To evaluate factors affecting Heidelberg retinal flowmeter (HRF) measurements of retinal and optic nerve head blood flow in human subjects. METHODS The angle of incidence between laser beam and fundus, and camera distance from the eye, were evaluated for their effect upon measures of blood volume, velocity, and flow in a single 100 x 100 x 400 microns volume of temporal peripapillary ret...
متن کاملFactors Affecting Vehicle Occupancy Measurement
Factors affecting vehicle occupancy measurement were examined with the aim of improving state vehicle occupancy monitoring programs. A comparison was conducted of five data sets looking at the effects on average vehicle occupancy (AVO) of time of day, day of week, road types, HOV lanes, locational differences, and traffic volume. It was found that AVO was higher in the afternoons, on Saturdays,...
