“…It is realistic to achieve the comparison between the glucometers and venous glucose through ISO criteria, as, among the various guidelines, it seemed to be more practical as compared to the ADA. 21 Limitations of this study include firstly, small sample size and single-centered-based study hence results could not be applied generalized.…”

Objective: To determine the comparison between the capillary glucose and venous plasma glucose in type II diabetic patients. Study Design: Cross Sectional Observational study. Setting: Al–Tibri Medical College and Hospital Karachi. Period: 1st January 2020 to 30th April 2020. Material & Methods: A total of 86 diabetic patients from the out-patient department with non-probability consecutive sampling were selected. Subjects were diagnosed cases of type II diabetes based on the screening recommendation by the American Diabetes Association between 35-75 years of age of either gender included in this study. Patients with type I diabetes, pregnant females and hematocrit of more than 55% or less than 35%, and patients taking medications like Acetaminophen, and Ascorbic acid were excluded from the study. Each participant was measured for the capillary blood glucose levels by using Accu Chek, Easy max and On-call EZII, using strips by Glucose Oxidase Method. A venous sample was collected within 5 minutes of finger-prick test in a sodium fluoride tube. A Statistical Package for Social Sciences version 22 was used for data analysis. Results: Out of 86 patients in the study, 48(55.8%) were females and 38((44.2%) were males with a mean age of 47.16±9.916. The mean blood sugars by venous plasma glucose were 249.58±110.75 mg/dl, by Accu Chek 250.47±117.071 mg/dl, by EasyMax 259.26±119.751 mg/dl, and by On-call EZII 249.33±124.380 mg/dl which shows statistically significant correlation with a p value of <0.001. The glucometers accuracy was determined by using Error grid analysis showed a strong positive correlation between the Accu Chek R2= 0.917, EasyMax R2= 0.917, and Oncall glucometers R2= 0.868 with venous plasma glucose with a statistically significant (p <0.001). Conclusion: This study shows a strong positive correlation between capillary and venous glucose measurements.

“…Plasma glucose (after an overnight fasting of eight or more hours) was determined using the glucose meter Accu-Chek Active system (Roche Diabetes Care, Basel, Switzerland) [11]. Fasting capillary blood samples were collected three times (for three consecutive hours) from a single study participant, and glucose measurement was carried out within fractions of seconds after sample collection.…”

Background. Diabetes mellitus is at the origin of long-term complications. Objective. This study is aimed at assessing the haematological features and urologic pathologies of diabetic individuals at Bafoussam Regional Hospital. Methods. This was a cross-sectional study conducted from August 2018 to May 2019 in Bafoussam Regional Hospital, West Cameroon. A structured questionnaire was used to gather sociodemographic data. A trained nurse measured the physical and clinical features. Fasting plasma glucose was determined using the glucose meter Accu-Chek Active system. The full blood count (FBC) was carried out using Automatic full Blood Counter, and the CD4, CD3, and CD8 T-cell counts were determined using the flow cytometry method. Results. There were 455 diabetic patients, and 50 nondiabetic patients were included. The mean age of diabetic patients (56.94±14.33 years) was higher compared to that of nondiabetic individuals (34.76±14.35 years) (p<0.001). There was a significant relationship between married individuals (χ2=79.19, p<0.001, and df=4), housewife and retired (χ2=1117.38, p<0.001, and df=37), old age (40 years and above) (χ2=79.11, p<0.001, and df=3), and diabetes status. Diabetic patients had an odds of 5.52 to experience a urinary urge as compared to the controls (p<0.001, 95% CI=2.15-14.22). The majority of haematological parameters were negatively but not significantly correlated with diabetes. Binary logistic regression shows that MCV (r=−0.251, OR=0.778, and 95% CI=0.617–0.983; p=0.035) and RDW-CV (r=−0.477, OR=0.620, and 95% CI=0.454–0.848; p=0.003) negatively influence the probability of having diabetes. RDW-SD (r=0.135, OR=1.144, and 95% CI=1.014–1.291; p=0.029) positively influences the probability of having diabetes. Conclusion. This study revealed a significant haematological and urological profile difference according to diabetes status. Research and interventions targeted at diabetic population could help close gaps in diabetes complications.
