An Analysis: To Code or Not to Code—That is the Question

Most blood glucose monitoring systems need coding to correct for variation in lots of enzyme, which leads to differences in lots of strips. About 16% of patients miscode the meters, although the magnitude of the miscoding is unstudied. This miscoding has the potential to cause errors as high as 30% and to cause errors in adjusting insulin therapy that could lead to hypoglycemia at least 10% of the time. Studies of these systems suggest that they have accuracy similar to other current meters and have similar physical characteristics. Because they do not require coding, they are often easier to use. No-coding systems have the potential to avoid some errors in blood glucose.

Glucose monitoring is done to obtain information on blood glucose levels to ensure a therapeutic regimen; the aim is to maintain consistent glucose levels and avoid hypoglycaemia and hyperglycaemia. Self-management is central to diabetes control. Diabetes is individual, so self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) targets and frequency of testing must be decided to meet each patient's needs. Nurses have key roles in education and advocacy. They can educate patients on what affects glucose levels, why they need to carry out SMBG, and how to interpret and act on the results. Nurses also match glucose monitoring meters to patients' needs by considering ease of use, technical features and lifestyle. Access to testing supplies is sometimes restricted through blanket policies and nurses have an advocacy role here in challenging inappropriate restrictions.
