Blood Glucose Testing - Clinical Skills OSCE - Dr Gill

Many patients are aware of their need to monitor their blood sugar levels. However beginning to measure your blood glucose, can be a challenging skill to learn, verse it is important that all healthcare professionals engaging with diabetic patients are able to explain this simple procedure

As a result, medical students are often tested in their Clinical Skill OSCEs with this relatively straightforward station.

One of the reasons this is a core Clinical skills station at medical school, is it tests both student's communication skills, but also their direct knowledge of this Clinical procedure - testing a patient's blood glucose as part of a health assessment

It should be highlighted, that in this video the patient did not have an alcohol wipe of a finger before the blood glucose measurement was taken. There is conflicting evidence, most notably from historical research that alcohol wipes may negatively affect the accuracy of blood sugar readings. There are more recent articles, that have argued there is no clinical significance to any change that may occur to the blood glucose due to using the alcohol swabs, but it is essential to highlight that clinical consensus is still lacking on this point

--------

Please note that there is no ABSOLUTE way to perform a clinical examination. Different institutions and even clinicians will have differing degrees of variations - the aim is the effectively identify medically relevant signs.

However during OSCE assessments. Different medical schools, nursing colleges and other health professional courses will have their own preferred approach to a clinical evaluation - you should concentrate on THEIR marks schemes for your assessments.

The examination demonstrated here is derived from Macleods Clinical Examination - a recognised standard textbook for clinical skills.

I like how Abbie is so naturally answering questions like a real patient would have even though as a doctor she likely already knows the answers

There is something inimitably comforting about content with both you and Abbie; a return to Dr Gill classic, from before you were intentionally ASMR.

As soon as I heard "jelly babies", my thoughts immediately turned to Doctor Who. Now come to think of it, Dr. Gill, you'd make for an excellent Doctor, haha. Thanks to you and Abbie for the highly informative, relaxed and natural video, as always. Cheers!

I was diagnosed with diabetes last year, I was prescribed one tablet which I take daily. I found this video really informative as I have never had any numbers given to me and what I should do, so thank you for the information. Should I have been given a kit to test myself?

I have been diabetic for over 20 years one of the hardest things is always being able to wash your hands, I find I am not always near somewhere to wash, I was told not to use wipes as they can alter the reading.
