Equivalent plasma

La mesure de la glycémie varie selon qu'elle soit mesurée dans le sang ou dans le plasma sanguin. Certains appareils font la correction de la mesure sanguine en équivalent plasma.

"There are many brands of meters available, and a diabetes educator may help you find a special low-cost deal on one. There are often rebate deals to be had with meter purchases. It is actually the strips that cost a lot of money in the long run, so it behooves the companies to give 'deals' on meters and then they have a customer for their brand of strips for life. A meter generally costs somewhere around $60-100 without rebates; the glucose strips generally cost between $.50 and $1 each.

That doesn't sound too bad, but consider that with diet-controlled gd, you generally must test 4x a day. At 50 cents each, 4x a day for 3 months (most gd cases are found just before the last trimester), the cost adds up to about $180. For strips that run $1 each, the cost is more like $360, if your insurance doesn't cover it. Then consider that gd moms who need insulin are generally supposed to test between 7-12x per day, and the cost rises to between $315 (50 cents/strip, 7x/day) to $1080 ($1/strip, 12x/day). If a mom discovers she has gd early in pregnancy and needs insulin from early on, the cost could rise to as much as $2520 ($1/strip, 12x/day, 7 months) or more. Hopefully you have good insurance!

It should be noted that some strip brands are now touted as getting 'plasma-like results'. Basically, what this means is that the results have been adjusted to reflect the higher numbers usually found in official lab tests. Home monitors test using capillary blood; labs use plasma now. Some sources note that plasma results generally run about 15% higher than home monitor results, so the results you get on your official lab work may be higher than what you get at home. Most of these 'plasma-like' testing strips have results from 8-15% higher than other strips. This makes little difference for regular diabetics, for whom a 10-20 point difference is not that big a deal, but for women with gd in pregnancy, a 10-20 point addition can mean being put on insulin or not using insulin. However, the official cutoffs for needing insulin are generally plasma results, so it could be argued that strips that get 'plasma-like results' reflect more accurate data and might be helpful. Either way, you should know what type of strips YOUR meter uses, and be sure that your provider understands which type you have and clarifies for you what that means in terms of cutoffs and interpreting results."
