Using the Wrong Model Can Lead to Unsupported Conclusions about Glucose Meters

[摘要] To the Editor:Van Herpe et al. (1) modeled the effect of glucose sensor errors to provide total error acceptability limits to prevent harm to patients. In particular, the authors state that if the total error is <15.7%, the probability is zero that glucose meter results will fall in the D zone (causes severe injury or death) of a glucose meter error grid.This cannot be true for several reasons. The authors simulate total error by sampling from a gaussian distribution. They may well …
