title: [Clinical applicability of an enzyme micromethod for the rapid determination of blood sugar].
abstract: The clinical applicability of an enzymatic micromethod for the fast determination of glycaemia is discussed. The method is based on the use of an optical reflectometer for the quantitative reading of the variation in colour intensity of specific reactive strips for the semi-quantitative evaluation of blood glucose. Thanks to the method's rapidity and simplicity, it can be used for mass screening and is also very useful for the routine investigations of Diabetologic Centres. It is also invaluable for the identification of emergency clinical situations.
