The Two Skill Sets Of Self-monitoring Of Blood Glucose Education: The Operational And The Interpretive
Published: Thursday May 16th 3AM
Link: http://spectrum.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/short/26/2/83 rss=1
Description: In Brief The usefulness of self-monitoring of blood glucose SMBG requires patients with diabetes to be competent and confident in their ability to carry out glucose testing and interpret its results to guide lifestyle choices and improve outcomes. SMBG instruction can be offered in a variety of settings by a wide array of health care professionals. However, patients too often receive no formal SMBG training. The two skills sets required to successfully perform SMBG include 1 operating a glucose ... read more »
Glucose Pattern Management Teaches Glycemia-related Problem-solving Skills In A Diabetes Self-management Education Program
Published: Thursday May 16th 3AM
Link: http://spectrum.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/short/26/2/91 rss=1
Description: In Brief Self-monitoring of blood glucose SMBG involves both the performance of glucose tests and glucose pattern management GPM and is a tool patients with diabetes can use to achieve their glucose goals. Seeing the effects that increased activity or modified carbohydrate intake can have on lowering glucose levels is a powerful motivator for patients and reinforces successful behaviors. This article describes how SMBG including GPM is integrated into a diabetes self-management education program... read more »

Using Self-monitoring Of Blood Glucose In Noninsulin-treated Type 2 Diabetes
Published: Thursday May 16th 3AM
Link: http://spectrum.diabetesjournals.org/cgi/content/short/26/2/102 rss=1
Description: In Brief Self-monitoring of blood glucose SMBG is considered an essential component of diabetes self-management. However, research has yielded mixed results regarding the value of SMBG for people with type 2 diabetes who are not treated with insulin. Some studies have shown no benefit, whereas others have demonstrated improved A1C and behavior change linked to SMBG in a diabetes self-management education program that teaches how to use SMBG data. When used appropriately in these patients, SMBG c... read more »
Self-monitoring Of Blood Glucose In Glucagon-like Peptide-1-based Treatment Approaches
Published: Thursday May 16th 3AM

Description: In Brief Recently, European expert recommendations suggested individualized self-monitoring of blood glucose SMBG strategies to optimize diabetes management in patients with type 2 diabetes who are treated with glucagon-like peptide-1 GLP-1 –based approaches. These suggestions include simple and clinically applicable SMBG glucose testing patterns, or schemes. Potential benefits of SMBG in GLP-1–based treatment approaches were seen for several clinical scenarios: early assessment of t... read more »
