  • Title: Glucose analysis: indications for ordering and alternatives to the laboratory.
    Author: Pointer JE.
    Journal: Ann Emerg Med; 1986 Mar; 15(3):372-6. PubMed ID: 3511802.
    Abstract:
    Cost considerations mandate that the emergency physician consider the use of test strips for glucose analysis. Presented are medical criteria for glucose analysis, a description of available test strips and reflectance meters, and data from studies which compare performance and cost of the strips with laboratory methods. Emergency physicians should study the test strips and their indications more comprehensively. In general, glucose test strips provide a clinically acceptable means for blood glucose determinations.
