Four insulin-dependent diabetic adults were exposed to a feedback program designed to improve accu racy of blood glucose values obtained by patients using visually interpreted Chemstrips. Three of the four subjects demonstrated a dramatic increase in agreement between visually deter mined and reflectance photometer de termined blood glucose values follow ing exposure to the feedback treat ment. The implications of these find ings are discussed.
