Overview

No results on alternative-site glucose accuracy during hypoglycemia are reported; leaves open whether forearm or palm readings can guide treatment.

PICO

P
Population
Acute hypoglycemia
I
Intervention / Comparator
Alternative-site blood glucose testing (forearm and palm) vs Fingertip blood glucose testing
O
Primary Outcome
Blood glucose values in induced acute hypoglycemia

Cite This Study

Meguro et al. (2005) studied Acute hypoglycemia. Alternative-site blood glucose testing (forearm and palm) vs. Fingertip blood glucose testing was evaluated on Blood glucose values in induced acute hypoglycemia. The abstract describes the rationale for a study comparing blood glucose values at the fingertip, forearm, and palm during induced acute hypoglycemia, but reports no results.
