Introduction. Optimal glycaemic control in women with gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) reduces maternal and infant morbidity.Method. A survey was administered to women diagnosed with GDM to explore their views and experiences in achieving optimal glycaemic control.Results. Sixty women participated. Enablers included being taught to test capillary blood glucose in group settings where the health professional demonstrated this on themselves first (60, 100%); health professionals listening (41, 68%); being reminded to perform blood glucose testing (33, 55%); and being provided healthy meals by friends and family (28, 47%). Barriers included not having information in a woman’s first language (33, 55%); being offered unhealthy food (19, 31%); not being believed by health professionals (13, 21%); receiving inconsistent information by health professionals (10, 16%); never being seen twice by the same health professional (8, 13%); and long waiting hours at clinics (7, 11%). Two-thirds of women (37, 62%) reported that food costs were not a barrier, but that they were always or frequently hungry.Conclusion. Optimising experiences for women with GDM for achieving glycaemic control and overcoming barriers, regardless of glycaemic targets, requires further focus on providing meaningful health literacy and support from health professionals, family, friends, and work colleagues.

BACKGROUND: Portable blood glucose meters are the main method for detecting the blood glucose status of clinical patients. OBJECTIVE: To investigate the accuracy of detecting blood glucose in haemodialysis patients by sampling two blood glucose meters through the haemodialysis line. METHODS: Convenient sampling was used to select 80 patients with maintenance haemodialysis. The patients were sampled through the arterial end of the haemodialysis line within three minutes of being put on the machine. One specimen was tested by glycemeter1, which can identify the type of blood in the arteries and veins, and glycemeter2, which can only detect blood glucose in the capillaries for bedside blood glucose testing. The other specimen was sent to the laboratory biochemical analyser for blood glucose testing. RESULTS: When the blood glucose value of the first blood glucose meter (No. 1) was compared with the laboratory biochemical analyser, the correlation coefficient was r = 0.805 (p < 0.05), the out of value of the first blood glucose meter accounted for 4.4%, and the consistency reached 95% (p < 0.05). When the blood glucose value of the second blood glucose meter (No. 2) was compared with the laboratory biochemical analyser, the correlation coefficient was r = 0.800 (p < 0.05), the out of value of the second blood glucose meter accounted for 4.4%, and the consistency reached 95% (p < 0.05). CONCLUSIONS: For patients with maintenance haemodialysis, the blood glucose values detected by the two bedside blood glucose meters using arteriovenous mixed blood in the pipeline do not affect the accuracy and can respond more realistically.
