title: 'On-the-spot' blood glucose requirement at a peripheral diabetic clinic.
abstract: In 100 consecutive diabetics attending a peripheral clinic subsequent blood glucose analyses indicated the need for some change in treatment in 24 patients. As it can be difficult to predict which patients should have their blood glucose levels checked provision of some form of comprehensive and reliable 'on-the-spot' analysis is essential for the best management of diabetics attending such clinics.
