In our project, archived casual random blood glucose levels of second-year dental students who were taught the mechanics of self-testing were retrieved. Material data were analyzed by calculating means, medians, standard deviations, and ranges for 161 dental students screened by this casual and random self-monitoring of blood glucose levels as described by the American Diabetes Association's 2008 Standards of Medical Care in Diabetes. Three types of data were assessed in this study. The first was the casual blood glucose levels of second-year dental students. The second was the data retrieved from student questionnaires regarding the value of teaching casual random blood glucose screening. The third was the U.S. dental schools' responses regarding inclusion of casual blood glucose screening in their current curricula. Second-year dental students self-reported hypoglycemia in three instances and hyperglycemia in eight, based on current American Diabetes Association standards. Students agreed or strongly agreed that the value of teaching was informative (92.3 percent), beneficial (95 percent), and something that might be included in their practices (78.2 percent), with 19.2 percent being neutral on the inclusion. Only six U.S. dental schools reported teaching casual random glucose screening.
在我们的项目中,我们获取了接受过自我检测方法培训的二年级牙科学生的存档随机血糖水平。按照美国糖尿病协会2008年《糖尿病医疗护理标准》中描述的通过这种随机自我血糖监测对161名牙科学生进行筛查,对材料数据进行了分析,计算了均值、中位数、标准差和范围。本研究评估了三种类型的数据。第一种是二年级牙科学生的随机血糖水平。第二种是从学生问卷中获取的关于随机血糖筛查教学价值的数据。第三种是美国牙科学校关于在其当前课程中纳入随机血糖筛查的回应。根据美国糖尿病协会目前的标准,二年级牙科学生自我报告有3例低血糖和8例高血糖。学生们同意或强烈同意教学的价值具有启发性(92.3%)、有益(95%),并且可能会纳入他们的实践中(78.2%),19.2%的学生对是否纳入持中立态度。只有6所美国牙科学校报告开展了随机血糖筛查教学。
