Question 4.
Diabetes mellitus possesses a serious health challenge worldwide and there has been an
increased awareness for self-monitoring and point of care testing. The development of self-
monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is probably the most important advance in controlling
diabetes since the discovery of insulin.
a) Dextrostix, the first glucose meter was invented by Ernie Adams. Briefly discuss.
b) There are three principles of enzymatic reactions, utilized by current glucose meters.
Compare and briefly discuss these three principles.
The synthesis of enzymes in response to changing metabolicneeds is referred to as _____________________.
