Skin mini-erosion technique for monitoring metabolites in interstitial fluid: its feasibility demonstrated by OGTT results in diabetic and non-diabetic subjects

Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate a new interstitial fluid (IF) sampling technique and its application in diabetology. IF and venous whole blood were sampled serially during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) on days 1 and 3 after formation of a mini-erosion in eight non-diabetic controls and eight Type 2 diabetic subjects. Glucose, lactate, glycerol, 3-hydroxybutyrate and insulin were assayed in IF and plasma. With solitary exceptions, the IF sample volumes were in excess of those required for measurem… Show more

“…The pH in the erosion may be low, as indicated by lactate levels approximately 50 to 100% higher than those in plasma [3]. These factors may also affect the passage of plasma proteins, depending on their chemical and electrical characteristics.…”

“…IF sample volumes in this study were well in excess of the volume required of measuring glucose during the 3-day sampling period with a mean sampling rate of 1.9 l/min. This corresponded to the rate observed in adults during 6 days, and each sample is thus large enough to allow determination of a number of substances of interest in diabetic research [7,8] .…”

“…Groups of patients with dermatological, microvascular and metabolic diseases, or with impaired healing or defi cient immunological defences have been subjected to this procedure [7,17,18] . The epidermis has been found to regenerate rapidly after such sampling, local effects are subclinical, and no invasive complications have been reported [6,19] .…”
