title: Memory blood glucose reflectance meter and computer: a preliminary report of its use in recording and analysing blood glucose data measured at home by diabetic children.
abstract: We report a portable blood glucose reflectance meter with a non-volatile memory designed to record and store for a period of up to 99 days measurements of blood glucose performed at home under everyday circumstances. This information can be transferred at intervals to a desk-top computer, when rapid and detailed analysis of blood glucose control can be made. The data can then be stored and analysed over a prolonged period of time, thereby facilitating studies of the relationship between blood glucose control and the development of diabetic microvascular disease.
