They received1.5% or 4.25% glucose during continuous ambulatory peritoneal dialysis(CAPD 1.5% or 4.25%), or 1.5% glucose continuous cycling peritonealdialysis (CCPD 1.5%). Continuous glucose monitoring system andfinger-stick were used to assess ISF and blood glucose levels for72 hours, respectively. Sixteen patients (9 CAPD and 7 CCPD) …
