Reliability of present-day glucose test strips in the neonatal settings of a developing country

Abstract

To estimate the accuracy of glucose test strips in measuring glucose concentrations estimations were done in 100 full-term neonates, using Reflotest Hypoglycemie, Dextrostix, and BM-test-Glycemie. Results were compared with those obtained by laboratory methods. None of the glucose test strips was found to be completely reliable but the Reflomat system was found to be the least inaccurate.
