Self-monitoring of blood glucose in type 2 diabetes: An inter-country comparison

Open access
THESMBGINTERNATIONALWORKINGGR·2008·Diabetes Research and Clinical Practice

Abstract

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in type 2 diabetic patients was compared across 14 countries. There was an unexpectedly high SMBG-use in non-insulin-treated patients. Reimbursement polices differed by country, region, insurance status, and patient income. More rigorous and systematic data collection is needed to ensure evidence-based SMBG-use.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
