Abstract :

Diabetes mellitus is an emerging medical health problem in both developed and developing countries. The early diagnosis and management helps in reducing the complications of the disease. Hyperglycemia is dangerous but hypoglycemia is fatal. The treatment for both hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia is different but timely management saves the life of the patient. In emergency situations fully automated analyser play an important role compared to semi–auto and colorimeter because earlier restoration prevents irreversible neuronal damage. The present study is an attempt to explore any difference in the readings obtained from fully automated, semi–automated and colorimeter. The study included 40 Type 2 diabetes mellitus patients attending Karpaga Vinayaga Institute of Medical Sciences,Maduranthagam. Blood samples are collected. The blood glucose levels are estimated by Glucose Oxidase – Peroxidase method in auto analyzer, semi auto analyzer and in colorimeter. The datas were analyzed and expressed as mean ± standard deviation.
