title: Urinary glucose testing by diabetic patients.
abstract: One hundred diabetic patients were watched while testing urine with "Clinitest" tablets. Only 20 made no mistakes. The main errors were in the use of the dropper and timing. We consider that more time should be spent on the initial instruction of patients.
