Journal Title: Isra Medical Journal - Year 2018, Vol 10, Issue 4
Abstract
Now these days there’s regular improvement noted in the development, working and in efficacy of gluco meters. Many companies are making gluco meters and are available in different designs and models. The aim of this study is to share the knowledge about accuracy measures, interferences in usage of gluco meters and equipping the readers about preventing from interferences and errors for accurate results. To highlight accuracy measures, interferences in using gluco-meters and prevention in the usage of Gluco-meters. Articles with titles of accuracy, efficacy and safety of gluco meters were searched on PubMed, and Google Scholar, find articles were scrutinized for required relevant data as related to objective of this article. As the technology is advancing day by day and new techniques for data encoding and verification are developing, also the non-invasive gluco-meters are in the market so there is need of original studies for verifying the similarities and differences in accuracy, errors and interferences among invasive and non-invasive gluco-meters.
