[The role of the TRS-Glucotest apparatus in self-monitoring by patients with diabetes mellitus].
Successful treatment of diabetes mellitus requires a reliable control of glycaemia where self-monitoring with reflectometer plays a significant role. TRS-glucotest reflectometer (TRS, Zagreb), the result of our experts' efforts, makes it possible for diabetic patients to perform self-monitoring. According to our research TRS-glucotest reflectometer shows lower blood glucose levels for more than 20%, especially in 3.8-11.5 mmol/L range of glucose concentration, that is in the range most often expected in patients with diabetes got under control. A considerable dispersion of the results got by measuring glucose levels with reflectometer doesn't offer the possibility to correct the obtained values. Our results suggest that TRS-glucotest reflectometer should be improved so that reliable control of glycaemia can be made what is especially important in patients with intensive conventional insulin treatment.
