Key result
Blood glucose readings from three types of glucometer devices showed a significant association with the percentage of HbA1C (p < 0.05).
Why the study?
Does the association between blood glucose readings and HbA1c indicate the accuracy of glucometer devices in hyperglycemic patients?
Cross-Sectional (n=30)
Does the association between blood glucose readings and HbA1c indicate the accuracy of glucometer devices in hyperglycemic patients?
HbA1c levels may serve as a useful indicator for assessing the relative accuracy of various blood glucose self-monitoring devices.
HbA1c may indicate glucometer accuracy in hyperglycemia; hypothesis-generating association leaves open validation before any clinical use.
In previous studies, the accuracy of glucose measurements were found with significant variations in different self-monitoring devices. This study suggests Hemoglobin a1c (Hba1c) to be used as as an indicator for the accuracy of blood-glucose monitoring devices. In this study, the association between the readings of glycohematoglobin HbA1C and the hyperglycemic readings of thirty hyperglycemic patients is used as an indicator of the accuracy of three types of glucometer devices. The association between hyperglycemic readings and the percentage of HbA1C for the same patients was investigated. The results showed significant association between levels of blood glucose and the percentage of HbA1C in three devices with statistically significant ( p < 0.05). Such relationship is suggested to be used as a relative accuracy of various types of blood glucose self-monitoring devices.
