당뇨병은 발병 후 거의 완치가 불가능한 질환으로 당뇨병의 치료는 고혈당에 의한 증상을 개선, 여러 가지 급성 및 만성합병증을 예방하는 데 그 목적이 있다. 당뇨병 조절 및 합병증 연구 등에서 엄격한 혈당조절을 통해 당뇨병의 만성합병증이 예방되거나 이미 발생된 합병증도 진행이 지연됨이 알려졌으며, 이에 따라 지속적인 혈당조절의 필요성이 더욱 중요해지고 있다. 지속적인 혈당조절을 위한 당뇨병관리의 기준이 되는 지표에는 여러 가지가 있지만 그 대표적인 것으로 공복혈당, 식전혈당. 식후 2시간 혈당, 당화혈색소 등이 있다. 환자들은 어떤 검사가 나의 혈당변화를 가장 정확히 나타내 주는지 궁금할 때가 있다. 또한 혈당검사를 하루 중 언제 측정해야 가장 정확하고, 얼마나 측정해야 하는지도 궁금하다. 여기서는 혈당조절의 지표가 되고 합병증 예방의 가장 기초가 되는 검사의 종류와 검사 시기, 빈도를 알아보고자 한다.

당뇨병환자는 혈당관리를 제대로 하지 않으면 망막증, 신장합병증, 대혈관합병증, 족부합병증 등 다양한 질환에 걸릴 위험이 높다. 또 당뇨병이 생긴지 오래된 환자, 혈당수치가 불규칙한 환자 등도 마찬가지이다. 따라서 식이요법과 운동, 약물요법으로 혈당을 안정적으로 잡아주는 것이 합병증 예방의 지름길이다. 또한 혈당관리가 꾸준하게 관리되고 있더라도 최소 1년의 한번씩은 합병증 검사를 받아 자신의 질병 유무를 판단해야 더욱 건강한 삶을 오랫동안 누릴 수 있다. 그렇다면 당뇨병환자에게 흔히 생기는 합병증 유무를 판단하려면 무슨 검사를 해야 할까? 본 코너에서는 초보 당뇨병환자나 아직 합병증 검사를 한 번도 받지 않은 환자들을 위해 앞으로 해야 할 합병증 검사에 대해서 알아보고자 한다.

Purpose: $^{18}F$-FDG wholebody PET is to evaluate the tumor using glucose metabolism. The blood glucose level is important factor that affects on a result of examination. High glucose levels may interfere with tumor targeting due to competitive inhibition of FDG uptake by D-glucose. The blood glucose level measurement test strips used in the blood glucose measurement are classified into the capillary blood measurement test strips and general purpose measurement test strips that can measure the venous blood and capillary blood altogether depends on cases. The purpose of the study was to compare the blood glucose measurements between simultaneously obtained capillary and venous blood samples using the capillary blood measurement test strips, general purpose measurement test strips. Materials and Methods: A total of 46 subjects (32 males, 14 females) with a mean age of $57.3{\pm}12.3$ years were enrolled. The blood glucose estimation was performed with a Optium Xceed Glucometer (Abbott). Simultaneous capillary and venous blood samples were obtained from each subject. The blood glucose levels were measured using the capillary blood measurement test strips and general purpose measurement test strips. The capillary and venous measurements were compared using a pared t-test. Results: The mean capillary and venous glucose values using the general purpose measurement test strips were $95.2{\pm}12.4$ mg/dL and $104.1{\pm}14.4$ mg/dL, giving a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) between the mean values for the capillary and venous glucose samples (9.0 mg/dL; 95% confidence interval (CI) -11.2 to -6.7). The mean capillary and venous glucose values using the capillary blood measurement test strips were $91.5{\pm}13.6$ mg/dL and $108.6{\pm}16.2$ mg/dL, giving a statistically significant difference (p<0.001) between the mean values for the capillary and venous glucose samples (16.6 mg/dL; 95% CI -20.2 to -13.0). Conclusion: When measuring the blood glucose level before $^{18}F$-FDG PET examination, since the incorrect blood glucose level can be measured, it should note to measure the blood glucose level of the venous blood by the capillary blood measurement test strips. Therefore the measurement variation can be reduced to fulfill the standardized measurement procedure with the suitable measurement test strips, the preparation of the PET examination will be able to be clearly confirmed. In addition, the standardized procedure of the following measurement on the area which is same at all times the blood area in the blood glucose measurement among a capillary or a vein will be needed.

Capillary blood sampling on the forearm reduces pain caused by skin puncture. The present study compared the blood glucose test results performed at different sampling sites of the forearm, finger, and vein to evaluate clinical validity of this alternative site blood sampling technique. Subjects numbered 555 including 61 diabetic patients participated to measure the glucose concentration on the finger ($G_F$) and the forearm ($G_A$) with a portable glucometer under overnight fasting state. Then, the venous glucose concentration ($G_V$) was measured in 514 subjects in less than 1 hour. The test results were analyzed by simple linear regression, intraclass correlation, and Passing-Bablok regression techniques. $G_A$ was highly correlated with $G_F$ or $G_V$ showing the correlation coefficients (r) of approximately 0.97 (P<0.0001) in the normal group. The patient group also resulted similarly high correlation with only slightly lower r value. The mean differences in glucose concentration were less than ${\pm}10mg/dL$ regardless of the sampling sites. Intraclass correlation coefficients were slightly smaller than r but very much similar in value in both groups. The 95% confidence intervals of the slope as well as the intercept in the Passing-Bablok regression analysis were < ${\pm}20%$ and < ${\pm}20mg/dL$, respectively, which were within the clinically acceptable ranges. These three statistical techniques introduced in the present study well demonstrated the consistency of $G_A$ with $G_F$ and $G_V$. Therefore, the forearm blood glucose test could be considered as clinically valid under fasting condition.

자가혈당측정은 당뇨병 관리에 있어 나침판과 지도와 같은 역할을 합니다. 이는 혈당수치를 보면서 고혈당과 저혈당을 확인하여 즉각적으로 대처할 수 있고, 식사요법, 운동요법, 스트레스 등이 혈당에 어떤 영향을 주는지도 확인할 수 있어 생활습관을 개선하는데 도움이 되기 때문입니다. 또한 인슐린주사를 하는 경우에는 혈당치를 확인하여 인슐린 용량을 조절할 수 있기 때문입니다. 이렇듯 자가혈당측정을 하는 것이 당뇨병관리에 있어 많은 도움이 되어도 혈당검사를 소홀히 하는 경우를 볼 수 있습니다. 이에 금번 호에서는 자가혈당 측정에 대한 당뇨병환자의 마음상태와 혈당에 대한 "감(Sense)을 파악하는 법과 혈당조절을 위한 행동요령에 대하여 소개합니다.

당뇨병 치료의 목적은 합병증을 예방하고 건강하게 삶을 사는 것이다. 그러므로 규칙적인 혈당검사를 통하여 섭취한 음식량, 운동량, 스트레스에 의해 변화되는 혈당을 점검하고 관찰하여 혈당관리를 잘 해야한다.

The present study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the blood glucose test with almost painless vacuum assisted auto-lancing technique. The blood glucose concentration measurements in the capillary blood sampled from the alternative (forearm) site were compared with the standard venous or finger sampling techniques. Capillary blood was sampled from both the left index finger and the forearm, followed by the venous blood sampling in 531 patients who visited the C University Hospital. Blood sugar test was performed for each blood samples for comparative analysis. Mean blood glucose concentration measured on the forearm was closer to the venous glucose level than that of the finger, but the difference was approximately 10 mg/dL small enough to ignore from the clinical point of view. The correlation coefficients of the measured blood glucose levels between finger and vein and between forearm and vein were 0.94 and 0.92, respectively (p<0.001). The blood glucose measurement on the forearm also well correlated with the finger, showing a correlation coefficient of 0.94, and both data were very much close to each other. Therefore, the blood sugar test on the alternative capillary blood sampling site such as forearm was accurate enough for clinical practice. The vacuum assisted auto-lancing technique on the alternative site would be of particular interest for the disease management of the chronic diabetes, since it induces almost no pain when sampling blood from the capillaries.
