Accu Chek Inform II Meter User Training and Competency

the meter. Each user must undergo training by an approved trainer (Roche trainer or POCT Team member).

Users must demonstrate understanding and use of the meter.

Purpose of Examination

Glucose is the most important source of energy for most tissues and maintenance of the plasma glucose level is

essential for nervous tissue function. Hyperglycaemia occurs in diabetes mellitus; under conditions of stress due

to increased cortisol and adrenalin e.g. infection, cerebral vascular accidents, myocardial infarction; following IV

glucose infusions; in pancreatic disorders and in endocrine disorders e.g. Cushing's syndrome.

The great majority of cases of hypoglycaemia are due to insulin therapy in insulin dependent diabetics. Oral

hypoglycaemic agents and excessive exercise without an increase in intake of food are other causes of

hypoglycaemia in known diabetics. Other causes of hypoglycaemia include insulinoma, liver failure,

adrenocorticol insufficiency, hypopituitarism, ethanol excess, salicylate overdose and following gastric surgery

(Dumping syndrome).
