“…A much larger testing devices in hospitals was built for use in hospitals to measure the glucose concentrations in blood of the veins of the forearm, so the smaller portable blood glucose testing device had to change the glucose concentration value of the finger tip to that of the forearm. 8 The other reason is that when diabetic patients use these devices to control their blood sugar levels, values lower than the actual can be very dangerous ; For that reason, since the normal value range for blood sugar is 65−110 mg/dl on an empty stomach and 65−160 mg/dl right after a meal, the blood sugar measuring device may have been preset to display higher than actual values for concentrations above 160 mg/dl.…”

“…Therefore, several small portable blood glucose testing devices have been developed, using which diabetic patients can easily measure their own blood glucose levels. [6][7][8][9] Out of all these simple devices, the Accu-check ® comfort developed by Roche Diagnostic has come to be among the better known because of its ability to measure the blood glucose concentration with an accuracy close to that of the larger devices used in hospitals. 10 However, until now, these devices have only been used to measure the glucose concentrations in the blood, and not for those in the saliva.…”

“…On the other hand, with the increase in the number of diabetic patients 4,5 and the necessity to control the blood glucose levels in these patients, relatively inexpensive and small, portable blood glucose testing devices [6][7][8][9] have become available in the market, using which patients can easily measure their own blood glucose levels. There is a possibility that this portable blood glucose testing device could be used to measure the amount of glucose extraction from chewing gummy-jelly.…”

Clinical significanceThis study confirms that a portable blood glucose testing device can measure the glucose extraction from chewing gummy-jelly as accurately as a spectrophotometer when measuring masticatory performance. AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this experiment was to investigate the possibility of objectively evaluating masticatory performance using a portable blood glucose testing device. Methods:First, the glucose concentrations of four types of glucose solutions with known concentrations were measured using a spectrophotometer and portable blood glucose testing device. Next, 20 healthy subjects were asked to chew gummy-jelly for 20 seconds and the amount of glucose extraction was measured. The results for the two devices were compared. Results:The glucose concentration according to the spectrophotometer was very close to the true concentration. On the other hand, the glucose concentration according to the blood glucose testing device was not close to the true value, although a statistically significant linearity was found. In regard to measurement of the amount of glucose extraction, there was a significant difference between the results obtained with the two devices. However, by using a regression line and applying the corrections to the values obtained, the values of the blood glucose testing device could be brought close to the values of the spectrophotometer (y=1.036x−2.491, r =0.994, P <0.01). Conclusion: From these results, it was concluded that, after applying correction, a portable blood glucose testing device could measure the amount of glucose extraction from chewing gummy-jelly as accurately as a spectrophotometer.

“…Error grid analysis is an efficient method that describes the accuracy over the entire range of blood glucose values and evaluates the clinical significance of the accuracy of a particular system. This analysis has been successfully applied in some studies [37,38]. In this analysis, the test-reference (or GA-GF in The present study compared blood glucose measurements using samples taken from the forearm, samples obtained using standard finger skin puncture, and venous serum.…”

This study confirms that the saliva secreted during gummy jelly chewing has an influence on the masticatory performance which was obtained by measuring glucose extraction. AbstractPurpose: The purpose of this experiment was to clarify whether the amount of saliva secreted during the chewing gummy jelly affected the assessment of masticatory performance. Methods:Twenty healthy subjects were asked to chew 2 g of gummy jelly for 10, 15, and 20 seconds and the amounts of glucose extraction and saliva secretion were measured. The changes in both glucose extraction and saliva from 10 to 20 seconds were investigated. Next, the amount of glucose extraction excluding the effect of saliva (extraction B) was divided by the amount of glucose extraction measured (extraction A), and the results for the two chewing times were compared. Results:The amount of glucose extraction increased proportionally as the chewing time progressed and the change was significant. Although the amount of saliva secretion increased as the chewing time progressed, the change differed from the proportional change in glucose extraction. The amount of saliva secretion was extensive for the first 10 seconds and increased about 0.1 ml every 5 seconds. The ratio of the extraction B to extraction A was between 1.03 and 1.05, and there was a significant difference between each pair of chewing times. Conclusion:From these results it was concluded that the amount of saliva secretion increased during chewing of gummy jelly and affected the assessment of masticatory performance, and this effect was less than 5 % for chewing of up to 20 seconds.

Alternate site blood glucose testing: do patients prefer it?

Abstract: Patients prefer the Soft-Sense alternate site testing device to their existing measuring method. The device accurately measures whole blood glucose.
