Abstract:
Self-monitoring of blood glucose is an important component of treatment in patients with diabetes. Recent improvements in glucose meters have made patient self-testing more reliable and less dependent on user technique. However, success of the process depends on the training, reassessment, and support of the patient by the healthcare team.
