Home monitoring of blood glucose without a photometer. 1980

M Fahlén, and G Strömblad, and F Lithner

The ability to estimate blood glucose values at home is an important way of improving diabetic control. In order to investigate whether it was possible to replace the photometers used at present colour discrimination of ReflotestR-Glucose and ReflotestR-Hypoglycemie strips are studied. It was found that a colour scale could be used with one discrete shade of colour for each millimol between 1 to 20 millimol/l. A new test strip Haemo-GlukotestR 20-800 for colour scale usage was tested. Correlation with hexokinase method as reference was found to be r = 0.97.
