Readers are warned that the document has not been peer-reviewed by expert/patient reviewers or an academic editor, may contain misleading claims, and is likely to undergo changes before final publication, if accepted, or may have been rejected/withdrawn (a note "no longer under consideration" will appear above).
Peer review me: Readers with interest and expertise are encouraged to sign up as peer-reviewer, if the paper is within an open peer-review period (in this case, a "Peer Review Me" button to sign up as reviewer is displayed above).

Warning: This is an author submission that is not peer-reviewed or edited. Preprints - unless they show as "accepted" - should not be relied on to guide clinical practice or health-related behavior and should not be reported in news media as established information.
Perception of People With Diabetes Regarding Blood Glucose Meters That Support Achievement of Self-Management Goals: Online evaluation in United States, Canada, France, and Germany.
ABSTRACT
Background:
Blood glucose meters remain an effective tool for glucose monitoring, but not all meters provide the same level of insight beyond numerical glucose results.
Objective:
To investigate the perceptions of people with diabetes (PWDs) of four meters and how they support the achievement of self-management goals recommended by diabetes clinical practice guidelines.
Methods:
1192 PWDs from four countries reviewed features of four meters using unbranded interactive webpages and determined which meter ranked highest in terms of meeting glucose management goals in various clinical scenarios.
Results:
Meter A (OneTouch Reflect) ranked highest (p=<0.05) in all scenarios vs. meters B, C, or D. Participants with type 2 diabetes ranked meter A slightly higher than participants with type 1 diabetes. Results were not statistically different among participants from the 4 countries.
Conclusions:
PWDs had the strongest preference for a meter providing insights, encouragement, and guidance to support achievement of glucose self-management goals.
