Objective To compare the application effects of rapid blood glucose meters and conventional biochemical analyzers in clinical blood glucose testing. Methods A total of 100 subjects who underwent blood glucose tests in our hospital from January 2024 to January 2025 were selected as the research subjects. Venous blood and peripheral blood were collected from all of them. Conventional biochemical analyzers (for detecting plasma blood glucose) and rapid blood glucose meters (for detecting whole blood glucose) were used for testing respectively. The test results, related indicators and the satisfaction of the subjects of the two methods were compared. Results The comparison of fasting blood glucose and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose test results between the two detection methods (P>0.05), and the correlation of the results was good (r=0.986, P<0.05), and the satisfaction of the subjects was higher than that of the conventional biochemical analyzer (P<0.05). Comparison of misdiagnosis rates between the two methods (P>0.05). Conclusion The accuracy of blood glucose detection results of the rapid blood glucose meter and the conventional biochemical analyzers is consistent. Moreover, the rapid blood glucose meter has the advantages of convenient operation, less blood requirement, fast detection speed, and high acceptance by the test-takers. It is suitable for bedside rapid monitoring and daily blood glucose screening. The conventional biochemical analyzers can be used as the gold standard for diagnosis and precise detection.
