Brief summary

The purpose of this study was to determine if subjects who have diabetes can operate the Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System (BGMS) with no training and obtain valid glucose results.

Interventions

DEVICEKarajishi TS Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System

Subjects with diabetes performed self Blood Glucose (BG) tests with capillary fingerstick and palm blood using the Karajishi TS Investigational Blood Glucose Monitoring System with no training. All BG results were compared to reference method results obtained from subject capillary plasma. Also, study staff tested subject venous blood and BG results were compared to reference method results obtained from subject venous plasma.
