Authors' results and conclusions:
The uptake of this technology in Australia has been rapid, with high patient satisfaction with the device. Low level evidence demonstrates a good correlation between blood glucose readings with the alternative site tester and the reference standard finger-prick test.
Authors' recommendations:
It is recommended that this technology be referred to the Diabetes section of the Department of Health and Ageing.
