TY - JOUR T1 - Self-monitoring of blood glucose: Advice for providers and patients JF - Cleveland Clinic Journal of Medicine JO - Cleve Clin J Med SP - 355 LP - 360 DO - 10.3949/ccjm.83a.14147 VL - 83 IS - 5 AU - Shannon Knapp AU - Pooja Manroa AU - Krupa Doshi Y1 - 2016/05/01 UR - http://www.ccjm.org/content/83/5/355.abstract N2 - Self-monitoring of blood glucose is a critical element in diabetes management. Providers must determine if and when patients are to perform glucose self-monitoring, set blood glucose targets, and help patients to interpret the results. Patients have a variety of continually evolving meters, supplies, and technology from which to choose. Making sense of these expectations and options is perhaps the greatest challenge for providers and patients. Working together, healthcare providers and certified diabetes educators can ensure that people with diabetes get the most out of self-monitoring of blood glucose. ER -
