A Computer-Based Glucose Management System Reduces the Incidence of Forgotten Glucose Measurements: A Retrospective Observational Study.

Introduction: Frequent glucose measurements are needed for good blood glucose control in hospitals; however, this requirement means that measurements can be forgotten. We developed a novel glucose management system using an iPod and electronic health records.

Methods: A time schedule system for glucose measurement was developed using point-of-care testing, an iPod, and electronic health records.

Development and Evaluation of a Blood Glucose Management System for Reducing the Delay in Measurement.

The purpose of this study was to develop and evaluate the blood glucose management (BGM) system, which supports the scheduling of blood glucose measurements for medical staff. This system enables medical staff to continually confirm the instructions of the physicians by measuring blood glucose levels using a smart device (iPod). This paper describes the difference in the delay of the measurement between the BGM system and the non-BGM system.
