Abstract
Type 1 diabetes (T1D) is well-recognised as a continuum heralded by the development of islet autoantibodies, progression to islet autoimmunity causing beta cell destruction, culminating in insulin deficiency and clinical disease. Abnormalities of glucose homeostasis are known to exist well before the onset of typical symptoms. Laboratory-based tests such as the oral glucose tolerance test (OGTT) and glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) have been used to stage T1D and assess the risk of progression to clinical T1D. Continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) can detect early glycaemic abnormalities and can therefore be used to monitor for metabolic deterioration in pre-symptomatic, islet autoantibody positive, at-risk individuals. Early identification of these children can not only reduce the risk of presentation with diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA), but also determine eligibility for prevention trials, which aim to prevent or delay progression to clinical T1D. Here, we describe the current state with regard to the use of the OGTT, HbA1c, fructosamine and glycated albumin in pre-symptomatic T1D. Using illustrative cases, we present our clinical experience with the use of CGM, and advocate for an increased role of this diabetes technology, for monitoring metabolic deterioration and disease progression in children with pre-symptomatic T1D.

[Point-of-Care Blood Glucose Testing: Post-Market Performance Assessment of the Accu-Chek Inform II Hospital-Use Glucose Meter]. TERAPEVT ARKH 2023; 95:1151-1163. [PMID: 38785055 DOI: 10.26442/00403660.2023.12.202522] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/31/2024] [Accepted: 01/31/2024] [Indexed: 05/25/2024]
Abstract
BACKGROUND A point-of-care glucose testing (POCT) is an essential component of care in patients with hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia in inpatient and outpatient settings. In Russian medical facilities (MFs), conventional glucose meters designed for self-monitoring by patients with diabetes are commonly used for POCT. These home-use meters have two serious disadvantages: the first is large measurement bias and the second - they can't be integrated into laboratory information systems, so measurement data have to be recorded into patient charts manually. Both factors may lead to medical errors. It is reasonable to use in the MFs specialized POCT glucose meters, as they are superior to conventional ones in accuracy and may be easily connected to laboratory information systems. With this in mind, physicians at the Russian Children's Clinical Hospital decided to substitute conventional meters with the Accu-Chek Inform II POCT meter, however, after preliminary performance assessment of the model. AIM To test the Accu-Chek Inform II performance characteristics: accuracy, linearity, repeatability, and mean absolute relative difference (MARD). MATERIALS AND METHODS Performance of the Accu-Chek Inform II was tested by comparing the results of parallel CGL measurements with the meter and reference laboratory analyzer in capillary blood samples. Overall, 99 parallel CGL measurements were made in 45 samples. Accuracy was evaluated according to the ISO 15197-2013 and POCT12-A3 criteria. RESULTS The Accu-Chek Inform II meter met the requirements of ISO 15197-2013 and POCT12-A3 and demonstrated high linearity (correlation coefficient, r=1,0), good repeatability (mean coefficient of variation, CV=1,38%) and acceptable MARD (4,9%). CONCLUSION The Accu-Chek Inform II POCT glucose meter may be efficiently and safely used in inpatient and outpatient MFs and particularly in pediatric clinics.

Abstract
BACKGROUND A noninvasive, wearable continuous glucose monitor would be a major advancement in diabetes therapy. This trial investigated a novel noninvasive glucose monitor which analyzes spectral variations in radio frequency/microwave signals reflected from the wrist. METHODS A single-arm, open-label, experimental study compared glucose values from a prototype investigational device with laboratory glucose measurements from venous blood samples (Super GL Glucose Analyzer, Dr. Müller Gerätebau GmbH) at varying levels of glycemia. The study included 29 male participants with type 1 diabetes (age range = 19-56 years). The study comprised three stages with the following aims: (1) demonstrate initial proof-of-principle, (2) test an improved device design, and (3) test performance on two consecutive days without device recalibration. The co-primary endpoints in all trial stages were median and mean absolute relative difference (ARD) calculated across all data points. RESULTS In stage 1, the median and mean ARDs were 30% and 46%, respectively. Stage 2 produced marked performance improvements with a median and mean ARD of 22% and 28%, respectively. Stage 3 showed that, without recalibration, the device performed as well as the initial prototype (stage 1) with a median and mean ARD of 35% and 44%, respectively. CONCLUSION This proof-of-concept study shows that a novel noninvasive continuous glucose monitor was capable of detecting glucose levels. Furthermore, the ARD results are comparable to first models of commercially available minimally invasive products without the need to insert a needle. The prototype has been further developed and is being tested in subsequent studies. TRIAL REGISTRATION NUMBER NCT05023798.

Abstract
In vitro diagnostics (IVD) testing is a powerful tool for medical diagnosis, and patients' safety is guaranteed by a complex system of personnel qualification of the specialist in laboratory medicine, of process control, and legal restrictions in healthcare, most of them under national regulation. Direct-to-consumer laboratory testing (DTCT) is testing ordered by the consumer and performed either by the consumer at home or analysis of self-collected samples in a laboratory. However, since DTCT are not always subject to effective competent authority oversight, DTCT may pose risks to lay persons using and relying on it for healthcare decision-making. Laboratory medicine specialists should be very cautious when new DTCTs are introduced. As qualified professionals, they should feel obliged to warn and educate patients and the public about the risks of inappropriate and harmful DTCT.

Abstract
BACKGROUND On-going manufacturer-led post-market surveillance (PMS), assessing the clinical accuracy of blood glucose monitoring (BGM) systems, is critical to substantiate the performance of such products for people with diabetes. MATERIALS AND METHODS Batches of Verio test-strip product were randomly and routinely selected over the period from launch of an improved-algorithm product to reporting date and sent to 3 clinic sites for clinician-led accuracy assessment. Accuracy is reported as per recently adopted FDA guidance for BGM systems, EN ISO 15197:2015 and MARD/MAD (Mean absolute relative difference/Mean absolute difference). RESULTS Thirty-three individual test-strip batches were evaluated corresponding to 506 unique donors. Accuracy performance - FDA: 98.9% of values within ±15% of comparator; ISO: 99.0% within ±15 mg/dL or ±15% at <100 mg/dL (<5.55 mmol/L) or ≥100 mg/dL (≥5.55 mmol/L) glucose, respectively. Overall MARD was 4.19% with a MARD range of 3.54%-5.73% across all test strip batches. CONCLUSIONS This post-market surveillance program demonstrates the new BGM system consistently meets measures of clinical accuracy specified by regulators. This program supports a growing demand by regulators for real-world evidence demonstrating consistent in-market product efficacy as opposed to the current largely passive approach that relies on assessment of reports filed by device users.
