Blood Glucose Self Monitoring

Glycemic self-monitoring is essential in  the  treatment of  diabetes mellitus. Compliance with the  recommendations for  selfmonitoring of glycemia is an important condition for the prevention of diabetes complications. The article provides a review of the problems associated with blood glucose self-monitoring faced by diabetic patients and doctors. These include low frequency of blood glucose self-monitoring, technical errors in glucose measurements, errors in keeping a diary and errors in using measurement data to diabetes control. The blood glucose monitoring system, which includes the glucometer, test strips, application, сloud for data storage can be used for blood glucose self-monitoring in patients with diabetes mellitus. The article discusses the features and advantages of the blood glucose monitoring system. The advantages of the glucometer are the no сoding technology and the following options: аpplication of additional amount of blood to the test strip; adding meal marks, testing as the measurement results compare with targets and informing about it; storage a large number of measurement results. In addition to the standard blood glucose measurement, the glucose meter and the application offer many features to improve blood glucose self-monitoring that can help to improve diabetes management: automatic transferring measurement results to smartphone or tablet; saving notes in logbook; display of glucose trends and testing as they compare with targets; offering quick and valuable tips for critical high/low glucose values.

This cross-sectional study checks specific self-care activities of patients with diabetes mellitus enrolled in a self-monitoring blood glucose program from August to December 2012 in two Primary Health Care units in the interior of São Paulo, Brazil. The sample was composed of 74 female and male individuals, aged 18 years old or older. The Summary of Diabetes Self-Care Activities Questionnaire was used. It contains six dimensions: general diet, specific diet, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, foot care, medication usage, plus three items about smoking. Eight out of the 15 self-care activities were within desirable levels, namely: healthy diet, not eating sweets, blood glucose testing and as frequently as recommended, drying between toes after washing feet, and taking medications (three items). The results enabled the identification of gaps in specific self-care activities among patients with diabetes mellitus.

AbstractObjective:To identify the routes of transmission in a nosocomial outbreak of hepatitis C virus (HCV) infection.Design:Epidemiological investigation, including screening for HCV of hospitalized patients, and a retrospective cohort study, review of hygiene and medical practices, and molecular comparison of HCV isolates.Setting:A specialized care unit for cystic fibrosis (CF) and diabetic patients at an acute-care facility in the south of France.Results:Of the 57 CF patients (age in 1995: 2-28 years), 38 (66.7%) were tested and 22 (57.9%) were anti-HCV positive. Eight (50%) of 16 patients with anti-HCV antibody tested by polymerase chain reaction were viremic. No patients had received blood products or had any history of intravenous drug use. All 18 (100%) patients with CF who had ever undergone self-monitoring of capillary blood glucose in the unit were anti-HCV positive, compared to 4 (20%) of 20 who had not (relative risk, 5.0; 95% confidence interval, 2.1-12.0). Seventy (39.5%) of the patients with diabetes were screened for anti-HCV; 12 (18.8%) tested positive, with 3 (25%) positive for HCV-RNA. Patients with diabetes had routine capillary blood glucose monitoring while hospitalized and shared with CF patients the same spring-triggered devices for capillary blood glucose monitoring. The disposable platform of the devices was not changed between patient use. All HCV isolates belonged to the type 1, subtype b, and phylogenetic analysis showed a close homology by sequencing of NS5b and E2/HVR regions.Conclusion:As reported earlier for the hepatitis B virus, shared spring-triggered devices for capillary blood glucose monitoring by finger puncture may transmit HCV. Strict application of Standard Precautions procedures is warranted in any healthcare setting.

In this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, Chang and colleagues present the analytical performance evaluation of the OneTouch® UltraVue™ blood glucose meter. This device is an advanced construction with a color display, used-strip ejector, no-button interface, and short assay time. Accuracy studies were performed using a YSI 2300 analyzer, considered the reference. Altogether, 349 pairs of results covering a wide range of blood glucose concentrations were analyzed. Patients with diabetes performed a significant part of the tests. Obtained results indicate good accuracy of OneTouch UltraVue blood glucose monitoring system, satisfying the International Organization for Standardization recommendations and thereby locating >95% of tests within zone A of the error grid. Results of the precision studies indicate good reproducibility of measurements. In conclusion, the evaluation of the OneTouch UltraVue meter revealed good analytical performance together with convenient handling useful for self-monitoring of blood glucose performed by elderly diabetes patients.

Blood Glucose Self Monitoring

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that continues to increase from year to year. The act of detecting hypoglycemic episodes is a must for a diabetic patient. This study aims to present the optimization of blood glucose self-monitoring measures in patients with diabetes mellitus and to review some of the literature on this topic.Methods: This study is a form of literature review of articles with the theme Optimization Self Monitoring Blood Glucose in diabetes mellitus patient detecting hypoglicemia episodes. Articles in this study came from the electronic databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, Proquest, Scopus and Science Direct from 2005 to 2020. Results: Search results using the keywords Self Management Blood Glucose, Hypoglicemia, Diabetes Mellitus were obtained from 57 articles. 18 articles that met the inclusion criteria were then reviewed for their full text. Conclusion: Self Monitoring Blood Glucose is a preventive measure in detecting hypoglycemic episodes. This intervention is the best choice for patients to prevent further complications.

Objectives: The primary and secondary objectives were to compare the glycaemic control and frequency of hypoglycaemia between continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS) and self-monitoring blood glucose (SMBG). Methods: A single centre, randomised, parallel-group controlled trial was conducted involving twenty-two type one Diabetes Mellitus (T1DM) patients with the mean age of 13.8 years assigned to either intervention or control group. All respondents wore the CGMS device at the beginning of the study. Intervention group (n=11) had their insulin adjusted based on the CGMS data, while the control group (n=11) was based on SMBG. Monthly average blood sugar level (BSL) and monthly mean hypoglycemic events per week (HE/wk) were measured at baseline, first month, second month, and third month. HbA1c levels were measured at baseline and in the third month. Results: The baseline characteristics were similar. The data were analysed using repeated measure analysis of variance (ANOVA). The mean difference of HbA1c within the group was not statistically significant with p=0.322. There were significant differences in the monthly mean HE/wk within and between groups, p=0.004, and p=0.037. Conclusion: In conclusion, CGMS is equivalent to SMBG in optimising glycaemic control but is more effective in detecting hypoglycaemia in children.
