title: [Usefulness of the Visidex II (Ames) strip test for monitoring insulin therapy at home].
abstract: Blood glucose was determined with o-toluidine and Visidex II (Ames) in 234 adult diabetics. The highest conformity of the results in both techniques was achieved in the range of blood glucose concentrations 70-110 mg%. The authors are convinced that Visidex II may be valuable in monitoring of normoglycaemia during intensive therapy with insulin, eg. during pregnancy. In other ranges of blood glucose concentrations, the results of determinations with Visidex II are significantly higher than that of simultaneously carried out determinations with o-toluidine method. Therefore, a decision on taking an additional insulin injection should be very careful in case of hyperglycaemia determined with strip test Visidex II.
