The study determined the exercise and blood glucose monitoring compliance of diabetics at Eversley Childs Sanitarium, Mandaue City, Cebu, Philippines. Specifically, it determined the profile of the respondents in terms of age, gender, civil status, educational attainment and monthly income. It also determined the level of the respondents’ exercise and blood glucose monitoring compliance and their experiences. Moreover, it determined the relationship between the respondents’ profile and exercise compliance and respondents’ profile and blood glucose monitoring compliance.This study employed the descriptive-correlational design. All 50 diabetic patients who had consultations since 2008 in the diabetic clinic of the out-patient department of Eversley Childs Sanitarium were utilized as respondents.The study revealed that gender, highest educational attainment and monthly income have high positive correlation with level of exercise compliance. It also revealed that civil status, highest educational attainment and monthly income have high positive correlation with level of blood glucose monitoring.Majority of the respondents utilized jogging, walking and hiking. The top reason for non-compliance in exercise was their busy schedule. Family members reminded them to do the exercise. The top reason for non-compliance of blood glucose monitoring was the lack of budget for strips. Respondents claimed that they are encouraged and reminded by family members to do blood glucose monitoring. Most the diabetics are concerned with the lack of budget to sustain blood glucose monitoring. Based on the findings of the study, the respondents are less compliant with exercise and non-compliant on blood glucose monitoring. Recommended citation: Marikit, H. F. E. & Amparado, M. A. P.

In this issue of Journal of Diabetes Science and Technology, Baumstark et al. evaluated the analytical performance of a bench-top laboratory glucose analyzer (SUPER-GL) intended for replacement for the YSI2300-STAT analyzer, that served for several decades as a comparator method in clinical and analytical studies of blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS). The authors concluded that the SUPER-GL’s overall performance is comparable to that of YSI2300-STAT, and has the potential to be a candidate comparator analyzer. However, the question is if we need to recommend as a “comparator method,” a specific device, that measure glucose using the same analytical method with most BGMS. In this analysis we present our point of view hoping to generate a discussion on the necessity for such a replacement.

AbstractBlood glucose self-monitoring by individuals with diabetes is essential in controlling blood glucose levels. The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) introduced new standards for blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS) in 2013 (ISO 15197: 2013). The CONTOUR PLUSThis study evaluated the accuracy and precision of CONTOUR PLUS BGMS in quantitative glucose testing of capillary and venous whole blood samples obtained from 363 patients at three different hospitals.Results of fingertip and venous blood glucose measurements by the CONTOUR PLUS system were compared with laboratory reference values to determine accuracy. Accuracy was 98.1% (96.06%–99.22%) for fingertip blood tests and 98.1% (96.02%–99.21%) for venous blood tests. Precision was evaluated across a wide range of blood glucose values (5.1–17.2 mmol/L), testing three blood samples repeatedly 15 times with the CONTOUR PLUS blood glucose meter using test strips from three lots. All within-lot results met ISO criteria (i.e., SD<0.42 mmol/L for blood glucose concentration <5.55 mmol/L; CV<7.5% for blood glucose concentration ≥5.55 mmol/L). Between-lot variations were 1.5% for low blood glucose concentration, 2.4% for normal and 3.4% for high.Accuracy of both fingertip and venous blood glucose measurements by the CONTOUR PLUS system was >95%, confirming that the system meets ISO 15197: 2013 requirements.
