A Trial Investigating the Accuracy and Precision of the BGStar® and iBGStar® Blood Glucose Meter in Subjects With Type 1 Diabetes

Phase 4

Completed

• Conditions: Diabetes Mellitus
• Interventions: Other: Comparison of different Blood Glucose Meters

• Registration Number: NCT01730885
• Lead Sponsor: Profil Institut für Stoffwechselforschung GmbH

Brief Summary

Due to continuing technological progress and better understanding of the needs for glucose monitoring, the performance requirements of blood glucose meters, primarily regarding their accuracy, are constantly debated and keep evolving as a consequence. Recently a discussion was initiated by the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) to improve the accuracy of BG meters in the point-of-care testing setting by asking for fulfilment of higher requirements.
