Popis: OBJECTIVE: This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of GlucoDay® — a portable detector of subcutaneous glucose — by comparing the results to those obtained by Biostator® an established and reliable method for continuous glucose measurement in whole blood. DESIGN: Subjects with type 1 diabetes (n:6), subjects with type 2 diabetes (n:6), and six healthy controls were studied for 24 hours; they consumed three main meals. The GlucoDay® was connected to the subjects by inserting a microfibre probe into the periumbilical subcutaneous area, whilst the Biostator® was inserted by a double-lumen catheter into an antecubital vein. A third catheter was inserted into a separate vein for blood withdrawal to measure glucose by the hexokinase method. RESULTS: The three methods (GlucoDay®-Biostator®-hexokinase) were equally accurate in measuring glucose levels (p=0.233, Kruskall-Wallis test). The glucose measurements performed with GlucoDay® and Biostator® were significantly correlated with those performed with hexokinase (p
