Comparison of First and Second Capillary Blood Drops for Blood Glucose Measurement
Sponsor: Ordu University
Summary
This study aimed to evaluate the effects of different capillary blood sampling techniques on blood glucose measurement results in people with diabetes. Blood glucose measurements obtained from the first and second capillary blood drops after antiseptic application were compared. In addition, measurements obtained with and without finger squeezing were evaluated. The findings may contribute to improving standardization in capillary blood glucose monitoring procedures and reducing unnecessary repeated finger punctures in clinical practice.
