In order to elucidate the question whether blood glucose monitoring should replace glucosuria testing in childhood diabetes 160 diabetic children and adolescents were invited to participate in a feasibility study on home blood glucose testing. Seventeen girls and 15 boys with an age of 4-21 years and duration of diabetes for 0.3-18.7 years accepted, thus a selection of motivated patients. They performed 20-22 diurnal blood glucose profiles, each consisting of 7 blood samples, during a 3 month period. Thereafter, all patients were encouraged to continue blood glucose self-control and the actual performance of the 32 patients was evaluated 3 years later. Daily glucosuria tests were also made and HbA1 was analysed. Patients' attitudes were evaluated through 2 questionnaires. The study shows that blood glucose monitoring is feasible in the actual age groups. Most patients were positive towards blood tests, particularly because it gave an immediate answer to an actual problem, but its introduction did not change the metabolic control. However, pain restricted its daily use and only 6.4% of the patients preferred blood testing to urinalysis for long term use. Furthermore, the correlation between home glucosuria and HbA1 was as good as between home blood glucose and HbA1. It is concluded, that blood glucose self-monitoring is a valuable tool in the management of childhood diabetes, but that it should be regarded as a complement to and not a substitute for daily home urinalysis.
