ABSTRACT
Introduction
With the increasing number of cases related to Diabetes Mellitus (DM), glycemic control through laboratory methods or rapid tests is essential.
Objective
To analyze the correlation of three glucose determination methodologies (Glucometer, laboratory analysis and with point of care artificial intelligence equipment).
Method
Blood samples from the digital pulp and venous blood from the antecubital fossa were collected from 20 volunteers of different ages and sex. Blood glucose measurements were determined by the 3 methodologies mentioned above.
Result
Spearmans correlation analysis carried out between all types of tests shows that there is a strong and statistically significant positive correlation, indicating the compatibility of results regardless of the method applied.
Conclusion
The methodologies are correlated, however, the average values?? obtained by artificial intelligence were 40% higher, which can impact the clinical interpretation of results.
