- Abstract
Objectives: The aim of the study was to investigate the correlation between levels of blood glucose in samples taken from patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus measured by instrument for self-monitoring of blood glucose (glucometer) and by laboratory methods (photometric method or enzymatic colorimetric method). Method: One hundred patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) who were attending a privet medical laboratory during the period December 2017 to March 2018 were participated in the present study. Among the participants, 46 were female with an age range of 40-80 years and a age mean of 53.10±10.61 years. The male patients were 54 with an age range of 40-79 years and a age mean of 51.17±9.74 years. Venous and capillary blood glucose levels were determined by laboratory methods and glucometer for each participant. Finding: The mean of photometric venous blood glucose (PVBG) was 163.88±107.06, Glucometric Venous Blood Glucose (GVBG) was 190.95±123.96 mg/dl, Photometric Capillary Blood Glucose (PCBG) was 171.53±116.52 mg/dl, and Glucometric Capillary Blood Glucose (GCBG) was 193.69±123.21 mg/dl. The obtained data was analyzed by Lin's concordance correlation coefficient. Concordance correlation coefficients (rc) were 0.94 for PVBG vs GVBG and 0.97 for PCBG vs GCBG. Conclusion: The results obtained in this study showed that the values of blood glucose level determined by glucometer are close to the values determined by laboratory methods. Moreover, a positive correlation coefficient showed strong association between capillary and venous glucose measurements.
