文摘
Although glucose meters are well-established instruments for self-monitoring blood glucose levels, diagnostic and screening procedures should be performed using standard laboratory methods. In addition to standard laboratory methods, HemoCue® is authorized for screening and diagnostic purposes in Germany. The rapid development of other glucose meters makes it necessary to re-evaluate this recommendation. Our objective was to test the usefulness of glucose meters in screening pregnant patients for gestational diabetes.
