This study tested whether radiofrequency emissions from a ringing GSM mobile phone affect home blood glucose monitor readings. Among 45 female nondiabetic students, the group measured in the presence vs absence of a ringing phone showed larger changes between two readings than a repeat-measurement control group…

This engineering study updates a prior (2005) survey on electromagnetic interference (EMI) affecting infusion pumps and extends testing to DECT phones and WiFi terminals. It reports a reduced failure rate for GSM phone exposure compared with 2005 (58% to 30%). The authors report that WiFi and DECT did not pose a real…
