The reliability of a “Reflectance Meter”, which was deviced for quantitative reading of the color change in Dextrostix, was tested using capillary blood samples, obtained from 51 patients attended diabetic outpatient clinic. The blood glucose levels estimated by the “Reflectance Meter” were highly correlated with those measured by Hagedorn-Jensen method (r =0.09, p<0.001).
The influence of exposure time of Dextrostix to the blood samples on the estimation of blood glucose levels was also studied. It was demonstrated that the blood glucose levels were underestimated when exposure time was less than 60 seconds and overestimated when it prolonged over 60 seconds.
It is concluded that this is a simple and reliable method for estimating blood glucose level if procedure was accurately performed.
