  • Title: Diabetic home blood glucose monitoring using a direct reading glucose sensitive test strip.
    Author: Baker JR, Mulvey TT, Vivian JA.
    Journal: N Z Med J; 1981 Oct 14; 94(693):252-4. PubMed ID: 6948175.
    Abstract:
    The aim of this study was to assess the performance of the BM Test Glycemie 20-800. Twelve diabetic patients were studied using the BM Test Glycemie 20-800, compared with one of the commonly available reflectance meters. The correlation coefficient for the BM 20-800 strip versus reference blood glucose result was significantly better than the reflectance meter (p = 0.01). In a separate study, laboratory staff tested both methods and achieved results which were similar to those of the patients using the BM Test Glycemie 20-800, but better than those of the patients using the reflectance meters. The BM Test Glycemie 20-800 is a cheap, reliable and acceptable method for the measurement of blood glucose levels.
