Abstract:
This study was conducted during the period January 2010 to June
2010, in Khartoum teaching hospital, Khartoum state on 50 healthy and
diabetic patient ( 20-71 years). They were divided into tow groups.
The first group included 25 apparently healthy individuals with
normal blood Glucose level as a control groups. Blood glucose level was
measured collected in fluoride oxalate container and lithium heparin
container.
The second group includes 25 diabetic patients age range 20-71
years. Blood glucose level was measured also collected in fluoride
oxalate containers and lithium heparin containers.
This study it was found that there is significant decrease in
concentration of blood glucose when measure immediately and after 6
hours when collected in lithium heparin container (p<0.05) in the
diabetic patient .Also in the normal group there was a significant decrease
in concentration of blood glucose when measured immediately and after
6 hours in lithium heparin container (p<0.05).
Blood glucose concentration has no significant decrease when
measured immediately and after 6 hours in fluoride oxalate
container(p>0.05) in diabetic patients .Also in normal group there was no
significant decrease in blood concentration when measured immediately
and after 6 hours in fluoride oxalate container (p>0.5).
