  • Title: Usefulness of glucose levels determination with glucometer in epidemiologic research.
    Author: Nicer T, Mardarowicz G, Łopatyński J.
    Journal: Ann Univ Mariae Curie Sklodowska Med; 2003; 58(1):420-5. PubMed ID: 15315026.
    Abstract:
    A decentralised health care system based on family doctors implies a certain return to a traditional model, that is to the performance of simple diagnostic tests by the doctor himself. This tendency is getting stronger. In such situation, the approach towards the results obtained with the glucometer should be revised. Carrying out our comparative study on determining 131 patients' glucose concentration levels in capillary blood, whole vein blood (Roche's Glucotrend glucometer), and vein blood serum by means of the laboratory method (the Cobas DP 25 semi automatic method, glucose concentration level tests produced by Cormay) we come to the conclusion that these tests are equally useful.
