متن کاملAssisted monitoring of blood glucose: special safety needs for a new paradigm in testing glucose.
The term “assisted monitoring of blood glucose” (AMBG) is a new paradigm in blood glucose testing and is introduced in this editorial. Assisted monitoring of blood glucose is similar to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), but unlike SMBG for which patients perform the monitoring, AMBG is performed for a patient with diabetes by a health care provider or other caregiver. Assisted and self-m...
متن کاملOral glucose tolerance testing.
The oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) is currently the gold standard for the diagnosis of diabetes. The recommended preparation for and administration of the OGTT are important to ensure that test results are not affected. Interpretation is based on venous plasma glucose results before and 2 hours after a 75 g oral glucose load.
