[A simple method for determining blood-glucose levels in diabetic out-patients (author's transl)].

24 hour blood-sugar profiles were obtained in 25 diabetic out-patients. The samples were obtained by the patients themselves even when at work, the glucose-level measurements in the laboratory. The relative differences between duplicate values was less than 10%. The results obtained made it possible to alter the treatment regimen so that, on average, there was a marked reduction in blood-sugar variations during the day.
