| Abstract: | The effect of pressure was investigated on the readings of whole blood glucose obtained from the Bayer Glucometer 4 blood glucose meter which uses the hexokinase enzymatic reaction. Sixteen subjects (eight normal and eight insulin-dependent diabetics) were exercised in a hyperbaric chamber at a depth of 3.7 atm abs. Venous blood samples were monitored at regular intervals for whole blood glucose concentration as measured by a Glucometer 4 inside the chamber. The blood samples were immediately placed in an airlock and taken to 1 atm abs, where whole blood glucose concentrations were measured using an identical instrument. The remaining blood was then analyzed in duplicate for serum glucose concentration using standard laboratory methods. The results show a significant difference between whole blood glucose concentrations measured at pressure and those measured at atmospheric pressure. Significant differences are also observed between whole blood glucose concentrations measured under pressure and serum blood glucose concentrations measured at atmospheric pressure. |
