Without finger pricking, no self-measurement of blood glucose (SMBG) is possible. However, the number of scientific studies dealing with this topic, which is highly relevant for patients, is surprisingly small. This is in sharp contrast to the number of papers about blood glucose meters and SMBG in general. This article highlights a number of aspects that are relevant when it comes to finger pricking and pain. There is a clear improvement in the technology employed in the many different lancing devices that are on the market nowadays; however, no good head-to-head comparison study has been performed to date. The invention of novel devices for finger pricking will most likely bring more attention to this topic.
不进行手指采血,就无法进行自我血糖监测(SMBG)。然而,涉及这个对患者至关重要的主题的科学研究数量却出奇地少。这与关于血糖仪和一般自我血糖监测的论文数量形成了鲜明对比。本文重点介绍了与手指采血和疼痛相关的一些方面。如今市场上众多不同的采血装置所采用的技术有了明显改进;然而,迄今为止尚未进行过良好的直接比较研究。新型手指采血装置的发明很可能会使这个主题受到更多关注。
