“…Investigators have reported that consistent use of self-monitoring can result in improved diabetic control in individuals with insulin-dependent diabetes. [1][2][3][4][5] Home monitoring systems can involve the use of reflectance photometers or visually read reagent strips. It has been suggested that the visually read Chemstrip offers a number of advantages over measurement systems that involve meters.'…”

Four insulin-dependent diabetic adults were exposed to a feedback program designed to improve accu racy of blood glucose values obtained by patients using visually interpreted Chemstrips. Three of the four subjects demonstrated a dramatic increase in agreement between visually deter mined and reflectance photometer de termined blood glucose values follow ing exposure to the feedback treat ment. The implications of these find ings are discussed.

“…These include: (1) using medical staff instead of patients to evaluate accuracy, 2 " 5 (2) reporting only overall accuracy of the entire blood glucose range, 2 " 6 and (3) evaluating statistical rather than clinical significance of measurement accuracy. Nearly all reports indicate that the use of reagent strips alone or with a reflectance photometer provides statistically accurate measurement of blood glucose.…”

“…DISCUSSION SMBG is a major advance in the management of patients with diabetes mellitus. [1][2][3][4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19] The techniques of SMBG are adapted to enable patients with severe visual loss to use tactile methods. Wipe-off strips are preferred, as they develop a stable color and can be stored for reading at a later time.…”

Twenty-eight patients with type I diabetes mellitus, legally blind as a result of proliferative retinopathy, were recruited into a program designed to teach and evaluate tactile methods for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). Vision ranged from "blind" to "able to read large print." Techniques with wipe-off strips (Chemstrip bG or BM Test BG, Boehringer-Mannheim, Canada Ltd., Dorval, Quebec, Canada) use the opposite hand as a guide, operation of timing devices by touch, and special methods for labeling and storing strips. Methods with wash-off strips (Dextrostix, Ames Division, Miles Laboratories, Rexdale, Ontario, Canada) employ the fingers as a guide in directing the wash water. The accuracy of tactile methods was documented. Clinical parameters of glucose control improved in patients with adequate data after 6 mo of tactile SMBG. Glycosylated hemoglobin in 17 patients decreased from 11.3 +/- 2.1% to 9.4 +/- 1.5% (P = 0.005). Patients experienced significantly fewer reactions and low blood sugar readings as well as lowering of mean blood glucose values from 158 +/- 56 to 141 +/- 51 (P = 0.025).
