Raccomandazioni per l’ottimizzazione della fase pre-analitica per una corretta determinazione della glicemia in ambito diabetologico
Correct determination of glycemia in the management of diabetes: recommendations for the optimization of the pre-analytical phase

<p>The time-dependent decrease of glucose in tubes after venipuncture may cause artificially lower values, if glycolysis is not appropriately inhibited by the correct anticoagulant. In this work we have extensively reviewed the current literature about the possible use of citrate buffer together with sodium EDTA and sodium fluoride. We conclude that, for screening and diagnosis of diabetes mellitus, including gestational diabetes, glucose has to be determined in plasma by using the above mentioned ternary mixture either as solid or in liquid state (in this case the correct numerical conversion factor has to be employed). For the measurement of glucose in patients with already known diabetes and following monitoring, lithium heparin tubes may be used providing that plasma separation should be rapidly performed. Alternatively, serum-separating tubes with particles promoting rapid clotting could also be employed.</p>

Raccomandazioni 2015 per l’esecuzione dell’esame da carico orale di glucosio
2015 recommendations for oral glucose tolerance testing (OGTT)
M. Carta \| A. Mosca \| A. Lapolla \| R. Testa \|
<p>Despite its large use and importance, OGTT is still plagued by poor reproducibility and sometimes is not appropriately performed. In 2006 the joint Study Group on Diabetes mellitus made recommendations concerning OGTT in order to harmonize the test procedure according to WHO and American Diabetes Association guidelines. This document should be regarded as an updated version of the original 2006 recommendations, including some improvements and changes, particularly regarding the use of OGTT for the diagnosis of gestational diabetes in agreement with the 2010 guidelines of the Italian Ministry of Health. The list of drugs having effect on the glucose tolerance has been updated too.</p>
