<Abstract>Background: Although most professional guidelines recommend self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in insulin-treated subjects with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), emphasis is often laid on the frequency rather than incorporating the results into diabetes self-care plan. It is unclear how these influence long term glycemic control.
Aim: to evaluate the relationship between SMBG frequency, ability to incorporate results into improved self-care and long term glycemic control.
Methods: 75 insulin-treated T2DM patients aged 18-65 years were interviewed to ascertain whether they practiced SMBG, testing frequency and ability to utilize SMBG results to adjust lifestyle and insulin dosage. Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) was measured in all the participants.
Results: The mean (SD) age and mean (SD) duration of diabetes were respectively 49.1 (8.9) and 5.6 (3.2) years. Glycemic control was generally poor [mean (SD) HbA1c 8.4 (1.9) %]. 71 subjects (94.7%) practiced SMBG. However, only 33.3% tested at a frequency of at least once daily.
