title: [Determination of blood glucose values with glucostix].
abstract: The study involved 214 patients of both sexes, including those treated at the Institute of Oncology in Gliwice and children treated for diabetes mellitus at the Diabetic++ Out-Patient Clinic in Gliwice. Blood glucose was assayed with GLUKOZA EO kit manufactured by POCh and strip test Glucostix (visually and with reflectance meter Glucometer II Ames). In case of blood glucose assays with strip tests a deviation of +/- 25% of the determined value was considered as a difference which does not affect diagnostic value. Blood glucose concentration determined visually with Glucostix test is similar or lower than that found in the laboratory. Moreover, the use of reflectance meter does not improve diagnostic value of an assay.
