Self-monitoring of blood glucose

A negative test result does not distinguish between hypoglycemia, euglycemia, and moderate hyperglycemia. [Pg.873]

Other factors influence testing (e.g., fluid intake, urine concentration, ingestion of salicylates or ascorbic acid, and urinary tract infections). [Pg.873]

Portable meters for measurement of blood glucose concentrations are used in three major settings (a) in acute and chronic care facilities (at the patient s bedside and in clinics or hospitals) (b) in physicians offices and (c) by patients at home, work, and school. The last, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), used by approximately 1 miUion diabetic patients, is performed in the United States at least once a day by 40% and 26% of individuals with type 1 and 2 diabetes, respectively. The worldwide market for SMBG is 2.7 billion per year, with annual growth estimated at 10% to 12%. [Pg.873]

Patients measure their own blood glucose concentration and modify their insulin dose based on this glucose value. It [Pg.873]

Multiple analytical goals have been proposed for the performance of glucose meters. The rationale for these is not always clear. In 1987 the ADA recommended a goal of total error (in the hands of users) of less than 10% at glucose concentrations of 30 to 400mg/dL 100% of the time. The [Pg.873]

Patients and clinicians can evaluate blood glucose control through a combination of self-monitoring of blood glucose data and hemoglobin HbAlc testing. [Pg.643]
