  • Country-Specific Glucose Monitor List
    Country-Specific Glucose Monitor List Country Name: Middle East and Africa (Bahrain, Iran, Iraq, Kuwait, Lebanon, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia (KSA), Sudan, U.A.E.) Important Information This is a non-comprehensive list, current as of November 2016. Absence of a specific glucose monitor or test strips from this list does NOT imply compatibility or incompatibility with EXTRANEAL (Icodextrin) PD solution. Similarly, other glucose-measuring technologies which are not listed below (such as continuous glucose monitoring systems) may or may not be compatible with EXTRANEAL. Always contact the device manufacturer for current information. If the manufacturer cannot provide information regarding compatibility of the device with icodextrin and maltose, Baxter does NOT recommend that EXTRANEAL patients use the product. Baxter reserves the right to change this list without notice and does not represent that it includes all potentially incompatible products. The glucose monitor manufacturers listed have certified to Baxter that they have tested (as per ISO 15197) their monitors with maltose and icodextrin to Baxter’s recommended limits: 278 mg/dL (maltose) and 1094 mg/dL (icodextrin). The manufacturers certified that their “green” monitors, below, showed no interference of blood glucose readings under these conditions, with the exception of the “green” monitors specifically notated 4 for which certification of testing to Baxter’s recommended limits has not yet been received. Please note that the compatibility list below is only for brand-name monitors used with the corresponding brand-name test strip. If a brand-name monitor is used with another manufacture’s test strip, always contact the test strip manufacturer for current information.

  • Patient Satisfaction and Clinical Efficacy of Novel Blood Glucose Meters Featuring Color Range Indicators in Patients with Type 2 Diabetes: a Prospective Study
    Open Access Original Article DOI: 10.7759/cureus.11195 Patient Satisfaction and Clinical Efficacy of Novel Blood Glucose Meters Featuring Color Range Indicators in Patients With Type 2 Diabetes: A Prospective Study Ayman Al Hayek 1 , Asirvatham Alwin Robert 1 , Mohamed Al Dawish 1 1. Department of Endocrinology and Diabetes, Prince Sultan Military Medical City, Riyadh, SAU Corresponding author: Ayman Al Hayek, [email protected] Abstract Introduction Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) plays an important role in diabetes management. The Contour®Next One glucometer is a recent glucometer that delivers blood glucose results by an immediate color indicator to aware users when blood glucose is at a critical high or low. The main purpose of the study was to assess the impact of an application of a blood glucose meter (BGM) having a color range indicator on clinical characteristics and glucose monitoring satisfaction (GMS) among patients having type 2 diabetes (T2D). Methods A total of 85 (male 42 and female 43) patients with T2D were switched to a BGM having smartLIGHT™ target range indicator (blood glucose meters featuring color range indicator) using Contour®Next One glucometer. Demographic data, as well as glycemic control, were collected at baseline and 12 weeks. At the time of the baseline and 12 weeks of the study, a trained interviewer gave the GMS survey questionnaire to every patient in order to collect the glucose monitoring satisfaction. In addition to GMS, a patient’s perceptions of smartLIGHT™ feature satisfaction survey responses were also collected from the patients at the end of the study (12 weeks).

  • Blood Glucose Monitoring Performance of “Roche Accu-Check Go” Glucometer Device at Moderately High Altitude
    Turkish Journal of Endocrinology and Metabolism, (2005) 4 : 115-118 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Blood Glucose Monitoring Performance of “Roche Accu-Check Go” Glucometer Device at Moderately High Altitude Habib Bilen* Alpaslan Kılıçaslan** Güngör Akçay* İlyas Çapoğlu* * University of Atatürk,School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Division of Endocrinology, Erzurum, Turkey ** University of Hacettepe, School of Medicine, Department of Internal Medicine, Ankara, Turkey To evaluate the performance of Roche Accu-check glucometer device compared to reference laboratory measurement in moderately high altitude. Research Design and Methods: Fasting blood glucose measurements were made simultaneously by Accu- check go glucometer device and standard laboratory methods in a group of 204 male and female patients residing in Erzurum, a province in Eastern Turkey with an altitude of 2000 meters. Majority of patients had type 2 diabetes. Results: Average fasting blood glucose levels measured with Accu-check go (101.5; 71-456) were lower compared to reference values (102.5; 69-456), with no statistically significant difference. Also, there were no significant differences between the two methods with regard to measured values below and above the threshold level of 126. The type of diabetes and gender had no effect on measurements. Conclusions: Slightly lower glucose levels observed with Accu-check go at a moderately high altitude of 2000 meters can be explained on the basis of oxidoreductase method used. However, absence of any significant difference suggests that the ability of Accu-check go to detect hypoglycemia at this altitude at an early stage is not compromised. Keywords: Accu-check go, altitude, blood glucose monitoring system Introduction conducted at the Endocrinology Unit, Atatürk University, Erzurum, Turkey.

There are many reasons for blood glucose disease and millions of people are affected. Some people living in big cities and near hospitals can have a continuous treatment, but most people are lack of regular doctor checking which is very important for the health. There some instruments to keep track of the daily blood glucose measurements but they are personal use only. In this project, a personal use only data collector used to collect data for multi patients. Data are stored in a database then doctor or the patient himself can reach and see the trend of the measurement in a meaningful graph. So, regular checking could be minimized in hospitals and also doctors can advise patients about treatment. With this study, blood glucose data are transferred from the measuring device to a recording medium. Although individual use of many devices, with this project a system designed for individual use is employed for more than one patient. Keywords: Computerized instrumentation, Data collection, Diabetes, Medical information systems Öz Kan şekeri hastalığı pandemik bir hastalık olarak kabul edilir; çünkü hasta sayısı her geçen gün artmaktadır.

Indications for Use The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is indicated for continually recording interstitial fluid glucose levels in people (ages 18 and older) with diabetes mellitus for the purpose of improving diabetes management. Readings and alarms about glucose levels from FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System are not intended to replace traditional blood glucose monitoring. Before adjusting therapy for diabetes management based on the results and alarms from the FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System, traditional ® blood glucose tests must be performed. The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System provides a built-in blood glucose meter to confirm the continuous glucose result. The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System provides real-time readings, graphs, trends and glucose alarms directly to the user. The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System is intended to be used in home settings to aid people with diabetes in predicting and detecting episodes of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia and in clinical settings to aid healthcare professionals in evaluating glucose control. The FreeStyle NavigatorContinuous Glucose Monitoring System is available only by prescription. III. Contraindications The FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System must be removed prior to Magnetic Resonance Imaging. 36 Summary of Safety and Effectiveness Data IV. Warnings and Precautions The warnings and precautions can be found in the FreeStyle Navigator Continuous Glucose Monitoring System labeling.
