Comparison of Fasting Blood Glucose Measurements From Fingertip and Intravenous on Patient Satisfaction in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Istanbul University - Cerrahpasa (IUC)

Status: Enrolling

Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus

Treatments: Behavioral: Patients whose blood glucose is measured intravenously and from the fingertip

Study type: Interventional

Funder types: Other

Identifiers

About

The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to compare the fasting blood glucose values measured by puncturing the fingertips and using the intravenous route of patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and to determine the effect on patient satisfaction. The blood glucose measurement via the intravenous catheter has an effect on increasing the comfort of the patient compared to the fingertip measurement. It is thought that information can be provided to increase patient satisfaction.
