Objective: To evaluate perinatal outcome in pregnancies in women with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and the influence of preconception care 10 years after the St. Vincent's declaration.
Research Design And Methods: A cross-sectional study was conducted in 12 perinatal centers in France in 2000-2001.
Objective: To assess and compare the technical accuracy of portable glucose meters during the last decade.
Research Design And Methods: One-thousand preprandial (pre) and postprandial (post) capillary whole-blood glucose values measured with meters owned mainly by diabetic patients were compared with a single laboratory method yearly from 1989 to 1999. A total of 21,950 capillary measurements and their corresponding laboratory reference values were analyzed at our clinic.
Objective: This study was designed to test the accuracy of capillary ketonemia for diagnosis of ketosis after interruption of insulin infusion.
Research Design And Methods: A total of 18 patients with type 1 diabetes treated by external pump were studied during pump stop for 5 h. Plasma and capillary ketonemia and ketonuria were determined every hour from 7:00 A.
Objective: Performance criteria have been established for in vitro blood glucose monitoring, particularly for the self-monitoring of blood glucose using glucose meters. Devices intended for use in the future, such as the continuous glucose monitoring system (CGMS), should satisfy similar criteria, particularly in diabetic patients under intensive therapy.
Research Design And Methods: The analysis was conducted on 18 type 1 diabetic patients (not controlled, HbA(1c) >7.
