BACKGROUND: Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important component of
management for diabetes mellitus (DM), especially in T1DM and T2DM patients who
are on insulin therapy. Adequate blood glucose monitoring and prompt intervention
are necessary to prevent blood glucose (BG) fluctuation and delay long-term
diabetes complications. People with DM are advised to clean their hands before
SMBG to remove any dirt or food residue that might affect the reading. AIM: The
study tested the hypothesis that falsely elevated BG levels from fingertip occur
after peeling or handling fruits in an unwashed hand. METHODS: Fifty apparently
healthy nondiabetes volunteers were enrolled. Capillary BG samples were collected
from the fingertips after peeling or handling apple, orange, banana, watermelon,
and pawpaw, followed by no hand washing for 1 h, cleaning the fingertip with
alcohol swab once, five times, and washing hand thoroughly with tap water and
drying. These samples were then analyzed with two different glucose meters.
RESULTS: The mean BG values, measured from fingertip blood samples after peeling,
and handling any of the fruits followed by no hand washing were significantly
high, even after cleaning fingertip with a swab of alcohol once. However, there
were no significant difference in BG levels measured after peeling and handling
fruits followed by hand washing and the level of BG before peeling and handling
fruits. CONCLUSION: Handling of peeled fruits with no hand washing with tap water
is associated with overestimation of capillary BG (Pseudohyperglycemia) monitored
with glucose meters.
