Post-Market Surveillance of a Blood Glucose Test Strip Demonstrates No Evidence of Interference on Clinical Accuracy in a Large Cohort of People with Type 1 or Type 2 Diabetes

J Diabetes Sci TechnolPublished Post-market surveillance diagnostic accuracy study

Authors' conclusion

Clinical performance for the test strip under assessment demonstrated no evidence of interference from over 500 prescription medications, with clinical accuracy maintained across a range of polypharmacy conditions in people with diabetes.
