Comparison Evaluation of Blood Glucose Meter Systems

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the performance of one investigational Bayer Blood Glucose meter (with investigational Bayer test strips) and four Blood Glucose Monitoring Systems from other companies. All meter BG results were compared with plasma results obtained with a reference laboratory glucose method (YSI Glucose Analyzer). Performance of the five systems was evaluated across the glucose range of the BGMSs using capillary blood. All testing and lancing were performed by study staff and some blood samples were glycolyzed to lower the glucose levels.
