[Experience with the Czechoslovak-made analysis system for diabetes self-monitoring].
The authors tested the Czechoslovak analytical system for the self-control of diabetics involving diagnostic strips of melliPHAN reflo and the compensating glucometer Remat GU. For testing diagnostic strips and the glucometer from the first regular batch distributed to health institutions were used. The Czechoslovak system was compared with a similar system of Ames Co. and the enzymatic photometric method for glucose estimation. The Czechoslovak system is suitable for self-control of diabetics and provides satisfactory results in the range of blood sugar levels between 10 and 20 mmol/l. It overestimates results in the range of the reference interval and in the area of euglycaemia. The authors recommend to change the system of two-point calibration of the glucometer and to shift values of the calibration wedges in the direction towards the interval between 5 and 15 mmol/l.
