The accuracy of visual and meter determinations of blood glucose with the use of Chemstrip bG. 1985

G P Marquette, and T Dillard, and S Bietla, and J R Niebyl

The 95% confidence intervals for the blood glucose determinations with use of the Chemstrip bG were +/- 28 mg/dl by visual reading and +/- 18 mg/dl by means of the Accu-Chek photometer. These rapid methods continue to be an important aid in the home care of pregnant diabetic women.

UI	MeSH Term	Description	Entries
D007202	Indicators and Reagents	Substances used for the detection, identification, analysis, etc. of chemical, biological, or pathologic processes or conditions. Indicators are substances that change in physical appearance, e.g., color, at or approaching the endpoint of a chemical titration, e.g., on the passage between acidity and alkalinity. Reagents are substances used for the detection or determination of another substance by chemical or microscopical means, especially analysis. Types of reagents are precipitants, solvents, oxidizers, reducers, fluxes, and colorimetric reagents.
