There are various views in defining protocols for fasting blood glucose test currently being used by healthcare providers in Nepal. A number of modifiable factors can influence the result of an estimation of fasting blood glucose in a clinical laboratory. Variations in the results of fasting blood glucose tests are usually controlled by minimizing the discrepancies in the pretesting variables, one of which is the inconsistency in what represents fasting. In order to minimize the complications of erroneous reporting of fasting blood sugar tests, it is crucial to define the protocols for the test and adopt them in unison by all clinical laboratories of Nepal.

Objectives: Describe the rate of diabetes by rapid detection on elderly in some communes of ThaiNguyen city.Materials and Methods: A cross-sectional study had been conducted on 520 elderly.Results: The rate of diabetes in the elderly in the 7 studied communes is 23.6%, of which 12.1% isnew discovery through rapid test. The proportion of subjects with pre-diabetes accounts for 19.5%,of which 8.3% are fasting blood glucose disorders and 11.2% are impaired glucose tolerance. Thehighest prevalence of diabetes is found in the age group 60-69 (26.6%); in which, Tich Luong wardhas the highest rate of diabetic subjects (32.8%) and Linh Son commune has the lowest rate ofdiabetic subjects (15.4%). There were 417 subjects (80.19%) that complied with the required fastingtime with the highest blood sugar test result of 16.3 mmol /l, of which 35.5% of subjects who fastedfor 8 hours or more had blood glucose test ≥7 mmol /l. As a result, adding a glucose tolerance testrevealed 13 more subjects (accounting for 11.4%) with diabetes.Conclusion: It is necessary to apply the rapid testing for blood sugar to all at-risk subjects, elderlyin community.

ABSTRACTIntroduction: The examination of patients with diabetes mellitus (DM) can be done by reviewing their complaints and through a capillary blood glucose level test to determine the value of their Random Blood Glucose Level. QRMA (Quantum Resonance Magnetic Analyzer) is claimed to be able to check the patient’s bodily condition (including blood glucose) with an accuracy of 85%. The purpose of this study was to verify the validity of the QRMA tool and its accuracy by comparing the results of the anamnesis and the examination conducted using the capillary blood glucose test method.Methods: The research method used was a cross-sectional design. The total sample consisted of 44 respondents in the working area of the Community Health Centers in Yogyakarta with the risk factor being blood sugar level instability. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The main variable in this study was the value of the blood sugar level measured based on the coefficient value of the QRMA tool and the value of Random Blood Glucose obtained through the capillary blood glucose test.Results: The blood glucose value was not correlated significantly with the coefficient value of QRMA. The value of blood glucose when examined alongside the result of the respondent's anamnesis showed there to be a significant difference. The value of the QRMA coefficient when examined against the results from the history of the respondents showed no significant difference. Linear regression showed that the variables of height, body weight, and IMT had a correlation with the QRMA coefficient value.Conclusion: The QRMA tool was not able to provide a picture of the actual condition of the blood glucose level of the respondents when compared with the results of the anamnesis and the blood glucose value from the capillary blood glucose test. Non-invasive health measurement devices such as QRMA are not used by nurses as a standard for determining the health status of DM patients.
