Clinical Accuracy of a Hospital Point-of-Care Glucose Meter

Summary: Glucose meter performance was evaluated against the ISO 15197 guidelines in 221 time-matched venous and capillary blood samples. Accuracy decreased when the source of the reference and meter blood samples was not the same

Postoperative glycemic variability in diabetic and non diabetic patients

Objectives: Glycemic variability increases oxidative stress and may trigger the inflammation and coagulation cascades. Variability may be associated with increase morbidity and mortality in ICU patients. We analyzed glycemic variability after major surgery in diabetic (DM) and non-diabetic (NDM) patients using an automated intravenous blood glucose monitor (IVBG)
