Correlation of blood glucose monitoring with reactive strips and central laboratory after and before training
Keywords:
Diabetes mellitus, Blood glucose monitoring, Laboratory, TrainingAbstract
Introduction: The results of capillary glucose testing are obtained by specific zone strip tincture. The current use of accurate blood glucose monitor are even more used nowadays, so, health diabetes team education is a priority. Frequently on clinical practice there are not correlation between visual test strips and reference laboratory.
Objective: To know the correlation between different glucose monitoring according hospital educational intervention program training.
Methods: Transversal, comparative, intervention study Visual testing monitoring before and after educational intervention program were compared with central laboratory results. We use t-student and Parson's "r" correlation test.
Results: 116 hospitalized subjects were studied. 52 women and 64 male correlation coefficient was 0.45 between visual strips and referral laboratory and 0.77 after education intervention. Difference in values obtained from reactive strip and laboratory tests was significative (<0.05) in both groups.
Conclusions: This study shows that correlation between results of both tests is low and it is related to the existing evidence found in the literature review, and it is improved after the introduction of the education (training) program.
