Clinical Trial Summary

Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood as a reference. Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions.


Clinical Trial Description

Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing (C) has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood (IV) as a reference. Postprandial blood glucose levels were measured after 50 g oral glucose load and after the consumption of a portion of different foods containing 50 g of carbohydrates. We also evaluated the associations between postprandial glucose responses and the clinical characteristics of the participants at the beginning of the study. Incremental area under the curve (AUCi) of postprandial blood glucose was calculated for 1 h (AUCi 0-60) and 2 h (AUCi 0-120). Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions. ;
