Arms and Interventions

Participant Group / Arm
Intervention / Treatment
OTHER: People with type 2 diabetes
People with type 2 diabetes who were in attendance at a diabetes conference were asked for their perceived Blood Glucose (BG) value. Then, after staff measured BG on a Blood Glucose meter, subjects were informed of their BG value.
Other: Blood Glucose meter
Staff tested subject Blood Glucose using a Blood Glucose meter.
Other Names:
  • Contour® Blood Glucose Meter

What is the study measuring?

Primary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent of Subjects Outside Specified Blood Glucose (BG) Range -Estimated Versus Measured Blood Glucose
Time Frame: 1 visit 15-20 minutes
The percent of subjects whose estimated blood glucose values are different than meter BG values. A calculation was performed to determine the percent of subjects whose estimated BG values are > +/-20% different than meter BG values when samples have BG >=75mg/dL or > +/- 15mg/dL different than meter BG values when samples have BG <75mg/dL, as measured by fingerstick CONTOUR®.
1 visit 15-20 minutes

Secondary Outcome Measures

Outcome Measure
Measure Description
Time Frame
Percent of Subjects Outside a Second Specified Blood Glucose (BG) Range -Estimated Versus Measured Blood Glucose
Time Frame: 1 visit 15-20 minutes
The percent of subjects whose estimated blood glucose values are different than meter BG values. A calculation was performed to determine the percent of subjects whose estimated BG values are > +/-15% different than meter BG values when samples have BG >=100 mg/dL or > +/- 15 mg/dL different than meter BG values when samples have BG <100 mg/dL, as measured by fingerstick CONTOUR®.
