Comparison of Fasting Blood Glucose Measurements From Fingertip and Intravenous on Patient Satisfaction in Patients With Diabetes Mellitus

Study Overview
=================
Brief Summary
-----------------
The study was designed as a randomized controlled experimental study in order to compare the fasting blood glucose values measured by puncturing the fingertips and using the intravenous route of patients diagnosed with diabetes mellitus, and to determine the effect on patient satisfaction. The blood glucose measurement via the intravenous catheter has an effect on increasing the comfort of the patient compared to the fingertip measurement. It is thought that information can be provided to increase patient satisfaction.
