Overview
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is one of the basic parameters of evaluating the quality and safety of the treatment of patients with all types of diabetes. It is based on consistent performance and comprehensive assessment. In the past SMBG was only required for diabetic patients treated with insulin. Within last decade, in an effort to achieve tighter compensation of diabetes, SMBG has also been increasingly used for patients receiving oral antidiabetic medications (OAD), in particular those related with the risk of developing hypoglycemia. An increased emphasis is placed on the control of postprandial glucose.
Key words:
diabetes mellitus – self-monitoring of blood glucose
