Este estudo prospectivo avaliou a dose mínima de sangue, precisão e exatidão da glicemia capilar obtidos em glicosímetro digital. Foram avaliados 108 portadores de diabetes mellitus tipo 1 (DM1), adolescentes e adultos, de ambos os sexos, recrutados junto à Clínica de Diabetes do Royal Victoria Hospital, McGill University, Canadá, durante 6 meses. No monitoramento capilar, foi utilizado glicosímetro AccuChek Compact (Roche). Para o volume, testaram-se 6 amostras de sangue, em três glicosímetros, utilizando o desenho cross-over (432 leituras). Para exatidão, comparou-se 100 amostras de sangue arterial e venoso, testadas no glicosímetro e no laboratório. Para precisão, testou-se repetidamente duas amostras de sangue venoso e soluções-controle. Os resultados demonstraram que o volume de 3,0 µL de sangue é suficiente para leitura reprodutível. Os resultados da glicemia venosa e capilar obtidos pelo glicosímetro e testadas no laboratório não apresentaram diferença estatisticamente significativa (p > 0,05). Comparação dos valores de glicemia capilar medida pelo glicosímetro com glicemia venosa e capilar medida no laboratório resultou em coeficientes de correlação de 0,9819 e 0,9842, respectivamente. Estes dados confirmam a alta exatidão e precisão do glicosímetro testado. O estabelecimento de punção digital de 3,0 µL pode ter impacto positivo na aderência ao automonitoramento.

Dr. John Di Guglielmo was born and raised in Montreal, where he completed his BSc and PhD degrees in Biochemistry at McGill University. During this time, he discovered and grew his passion for conducting basic cancer research. After his post doctorate fellowship at the Samuel Lunenfeld Research Institute (Mount Sinai Hospital, Toronto, ON), Dr. Di Guglielmo came to Western University as an Assistant Professor. Today, he is an Associate Professor in the Physiology and Pharmacology department at Western’s Schulich School of Medicine and Dentistry. Cheryl Yip, an Academic Affairs Coordinator for WURJHNS, had the opportunity to interview Dr. Di Guglielmo to learn more about his career in research.
