When will we get accurate diabetic monitoring devices?
Diabetes is a real problem. Obesity is mentioned almost daily in the media. Still when we get type 2 diabetes and have to depend on blood glucose monitoring devices, we still have inaccurate measurements. While there are all sorts of metering devices available, all sorts of Federal regulations, all sorts of FDA testing prior to commercial release, why on earth are our lifelines to good health so inaccurate? Even national laboratories are inconsistent. Our medical professionals depend on their accuracy and we, patients, depend on our meters for good diabetic control. So why are they so wrong. Yes, meters are better than they were twenty years ago. While I am greatful that they even exist, we have such technology as to be able to get to the moon, but I can’t get an accurate glucose reading much less an accurate HbA1c reading. For example, my last A1c result was 6.4 in the doctor’s office while that same morning my home test was 5.9! It’s just a sad state of affairs.
As a clinical laboratory scientist, I can tell you that it is impossible to duplicate result from device to device, the main reason being different device measure glucose and A1C using different methodology. In a clinical laboratory, we establish what we call reference range (normal value) base on the methodology we use. Therefore while the value is different, the reference range is also different from device to device to reflect the difference in methodology. Did you ask your doctor whether his clinical decision will be different between a 6.4 and a 5.9? I doubt a 0.5 different will affect any of his clinical decision.
There is something call pre-analytical error for example when you performing the glucose monitoring on your own, you might be using too much alcohol hemolyze the RBC, or squeezing too hard that you are introducing tissue fluid, or a drop of blood that is too small or too large. Also many of those glucose meter device had linearity, and when the result are too low or too high, they will give out inaccurate result, and the range of linearity is usually included in the instruction manual. Usually glucose below 40 or above 400 will cause problem. There are many factors that can affect the quality of results, if in doubt I would always trust test done in a clinical laboratory than a point of care testing device.

Has anybody had an overnight oximetry test done for sleep apnea? I had to get an oximeter from the hospital and wear it overnight (for a minimum of 6 hours) and then bring it back to the hospital the next day. Apparently normal levels are from 96 – 100%. Before I fell asleep, it was varying around an average of 96 -98. But then I fell asleep and woke up halfway thru the night to use the bathroom and noticed it had dropped down to only 82%. Obviously this is significantly below the normal range, but I’m wondering just how serious of a drop this is. Does anyone know anything more about this? Thanks!
Some of the answers from others may be correct, and some incorrect.
The Answer is this:
Although very important for detecting sleep apnea, oximetry is not the ONLY thing necessary to diagnose sleep apnea. There are several things that can cause an oxygen desaturation on oximetry. Sleep apnea is one of them.
A single drop in oxygen by itself is probably not too alarming if it lasts for a few seconds – this could be artifact. However, if it occurs every 30 seconds. This could be very suggestive of sleep apnea. But this could be obstructive or central sleep apnea – totally different beasts.
So, if there is any doubt about the diagnosis, a proper sleep study should be ordered – polysomnography.
To find out more about polysomnography and sleep testing, see the American Sleep Association website.
http://www.sleepassociation.org/
They have good info for the general public on sleep apnea and sleep testing.
Good luck.

As children, our curiosity about what to expect as our bodies change is met with knowledge andpatience. But when we’re 50 or 60, our bodies undergo other dramatic (and often just as startling)changes—yet there’s no one to prepare us, educate us, or provide guidance on what’s “normal.” From superficial concerns and everyday aches and pains to more serious medical problems, Dr. John Whyte, chief medical expert for the Discovery Channel, cuts through the confusion. In Is This Normal? he answers a broad range of questions about the physical effects of aging, such as: -How much weight gain is normal as we age—and why is it so hard to lose?-Is it normal to sleep less at night and nap more during the day?-What are the signs of alzheimer’s versus normal memory loss?With compassion, reassurance, and friendly guidance, Dr. Whyte provides both male and female readers with cutting-edge advice for the effects of aging they face every day, from hormones and libido to cancer risk and cardiovascular health. Is This Normal? arms readers with the essential knowledge and preventive strategies they need stay healthy and vital for decades to come.
