| Popis: | Diabetes mellitus is gradually becoming a major health burden in Nigeria, partly due to westernization of our diet and life style. It affects both young and old people and when not properly managed may lead to complications. Thus there is need for quick, convenient and cheap means of monitoring blood glucose level for optimum management. This study aimed at comparing some point-of-care testing devices with a laboratory method. A total of 150 volunteers participated in this study. Laboratory glucose determination was carried out on plasma samples using glucose oxidase method while finger prick whole blood was used for point-of-care testing methods (Accu Chek, On Call Plus, One Touch UltraMini). Eighty eight (88) males (58.7%) and sixty two (62) females (41.3%) volunteers, aged 48.37± 10.89 years participated in this study. There were significant differences in the mean value of glucose using glucose oxidase method when compared with the point-of-care testing devices (p |
