Popis: Objective : This study was undertaken to assess the accuracy of GlucoDay (R) - a portable detector of subcutaneous glucose - by comparing the results to those obtained by Biostator (R) 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 (R) was connected to the subjects by inserting a microfibre probe into the periumbilical subcutaneous area, whilst the Biostator (R) 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 (R)-Biostator (R)-hexokinase) were equally accurate in measuring glucose levels (p=0.233, Kruskall-Wallis test). The glucose measurements performed with GlucoDay (R) and Biostator (R) were significantly correlated with those performed with hexokinase (p
