Use of point-of-care glucometers during an oral glucose tolerance test in children for prediabetes and diabetes diagnosis: a comparison study

Abstract

Despite clinical guidelines do not recommend the use of point-of-care testing (POCT) glucometers for diagnostic purposes yet, the analytical performance is continuously improving. Thus, we evaluate the technical accuracy and clinical concordance of POCT glucometers during an oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) in children for prediabetes and diabetes diagnosis in a comparison study.
