The performance of a stock reflectance meter for measuring blood glucose levels with glucose oxidase test strips has been assessed. Glucose values obtained were spuriously high, and the response of the instrument was non-linear. The instrument could not be recommended as an accurate means of determining glucose levels, but may be useful for detecting hyperglycaemia and hypoglycaemia.
