Abstract

Aims: The goal of this study was to collect the opinions of patients and HCPs who used OneTouch Verio Reflect® in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

Background: Blood glucose monitoring devices are essential tools that aid healthcare professionals (HCPs) in improving outcomes in people with diabetes.

Objectives: To assess the satisfaction of patients and HCPs with the new functionalities of the OneTouch Verio Reflect® Blood Glucose Meter (BGM).

Methods: We conducted a multicenter cross-sectional study that recruited eight HCPs and 100 patients with diabetes who had used OneTouch Verio Reflect® with OneTouch Verio® test strips for four weeks in four hospitals in the UAE.

Results: Around 98% of patients and HCPs declared their satisfaction with the new features in the OneTouch Verio Reflect® BGM. Participants’ responses were not associated with the duration of diabetes (p-values >0.05) except for the Results Log feature (p-value=0.016). Patients rated Blood Sugar Mentor® messages, which include mentor tips, pattern messages, and awards, as the most important features, while HCPs rated ColorSure® Dynamic Range Indicator as the most helpful feature. Patients and HCPs stated that the “pattern found (high glucose),” which was the most frequently seen message, was the most useful message. All HCPs strongly agreed that the ColorSure® Dynamic Range Indicator helped them understand results and 98% of patients agreed that automated meter messages helped them to be more confident in following HCP recommendations.

Conclusion: Patients and HCPs indicated high levels of satisfaction with the features within the OneTouch Verio Reflect® meter.

Keywords: ColorSure, diabetes, mobile application, blood glucose monitoring, OneTouch Verio reflect, preference.
