About

Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood as a reference. Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions.

Full description

Self-monitoring of blood glucose using capillary glucose testing (C) has a number of shortcomings compared to continuous glucose monitoring (CGM). We aimed to compare these two methods and used blood glucose measurements in venous blood (IV) as a reference. Postprandial blood glucose levels were measured after 50 g oral glucose load and after the consumption of a portion of different foods containing 50 g of carbohydrates. We also evaluated the associations between postprandial glucose responses and the clinical characteristics of the participants at the beginning of the study. Incremental area under the curve (AUCi) of postprandial blood glucose was calculated for 1 h (AUCi 0-60) and 2 h (AUCi 0-120). Despite considerable inter-individual variability of postprandial glycemic responses, CGM evaluated postprandial glycemic excursions which had comparable results compared to standard blood glucose measurements under real-life conditions.

Description:

Two products were studied: white bread (Butter Toast®, Golden Toast, Wittenberg, Germany) and whole grain bread (1688 Mehrkorn®, Harry-Brot, Schenefeld, Germany). One portion (containing 50 g digestible carbohydrates) was eaten immediately before the beginning of the test in the morning after an overnight fast of at least 10 h. Before testing, participants ate as usual on the previous day without a standard meal and refrained from consuming alcohol and exercising for 72 h. A 200-ml glucose drink (Accu-Chek Dextrose O.G.-T. Saft®, Roche Diabetes Care, Mannheim, Germany), containing also 50 g of carbohydrates, was used as the reference product.
