Brief summary

The purpose of this study is to determine the difference between self-reported, estimated blood glucose level versus blood glucose levels measured with a Blood Glucose Meter.

Design outcomes

Primary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent of Subjects Outside Specified Blood Glucose (BG) Range -Estimated Versus Measured Blood Glucose1 visit 15-20 minutesThe percent of subjects whose estimated blood glucose values are different than meter BG values. A calculation was performed to determine the percent of subjects whose estimated BG values are \> +/-20% different than meter BG values when samples have BG \>=75mg/dL or \> +/- 15mg/dL different than meter BG values when samples have BG \<75mg/dL, as measured by fingerstick CONTOUR®.

Secondary

MeasureTime frameDescription
Percent of Subjects Outside a Second Specified Blood Glucose (BG) Range -Estimated Versus Measured Blood Glucose1 visit 15-20 minutesThe percent of subjects whose estimated blood glucose values are different than meter BG values. A calculation was performed to determine the percent of subjects whose estimated BG values are \> +/-15% different than meter BG values when samples have BG \>=100 mg/dL or \> +/- 15 mg/dL different than meter BG values when samples have BG \<100 mg/dL, as measured by fingerstick CONTOUR®.

Participant flow

Participants by arm

ArmCount
People With Type 2 Diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes who were in attendance at a diabetes conference were asked for their perceived Blood Glucose (BG) value. Then, after staff measured BG on Contour® Blood Glucose meter, subjects were informed of their BG value. Three subjects were excluded from all analyses due to inconsistencies in responses to inclusion / exclusion questions. So 294 subjects were included in demographics analyses.

Outcome results

Primary

Percent of Subjects Outside Specified Blood Glucose (BG) Range -Estimated Versus Measured Blood Glucose

The percent of subjects whose estimated blood glucose values are different than meter BG values. A calculation was performed to determine the percent of subjects whose estimated BG values are \> +/-20% different than meter BG values when samples have BG \>=75mg/dL or \> +/- 15mg/dL different than meter BG values when samples have BG \<75mg/dL, as measured by fingerstick CONTOUR®.

Time frame: 1 visit 15-20 minutes

Population: Three subjects were excluded from analyses due to inconsistencies in responses to inclusion/exclusion questions(297-3=294). Eight subjects were excluded from BG analyses because they did not have both an estimated BG value and a meter result (294-8=286)
