- Abstract
OBJECTIVE To evaluate the use of Sof-sensor® and EnliteTM sensors with the Guardian® REAL-Time system for continuous glucose monitoring in dogs and cats. METHODS Subjects were recruited from patients requiring glucose monitoring referred to a specialist facility. Interstitial glucose, reported by the Guardian system, was compared with paired blood glucose values from a portable blood glucose meter. RESULTS A positive overall correlation between interstitial and blood glucose was found (Spearman’s correlation 83%, P = 0.000, n = 321). A difference in relationship between interstitial and blood glucose was found to be dependent on the type of sensor used and the species of the patient, with Sof-sensors® found to be more accurate than Enlite sensors. CONCLUSION As less Enlite data was collected than for Sof-sensors, and is reported as a pilot study, further research is required before their use can be recommended.
