Meta-Analysis of the Benefits of Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose on Glycemic Control in Type 2 Diabetes Patients: An Update
Abstract
Background: Our systematic review and meta-analysis of the benefit of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in improving glycemic control in type 2 diabetes was published in 2008. With the few studies that have emerged afterward, we undertook subsequent meta-analysis of the available evidence to update the results. Methods: Clinical trials of SMBG were identified through electronic searches (MEDLINE, EMBASE, and The Cochrane Library) up to and including June 2009. Studies were included if they met the following inclusion criteria: (1) randomized controlled trial comparing SMBG versus non-SMBG in type 2 diabetes patients not using insulin and (2) hemoglobin A1c (HbA 1c ) reported as an outcome measure. The efficacy was estimated with the mean difference in the changes of HbA 1c from baseline to final assessment between the SMBG and the non-SMBG groups. Results: SMBG was effective in reducing HbA 1c in non–insulin-treated type 2 diabetes (pooled mean difference, −0.24%; 95% confidence interval, −0.34% to −0.14%; P < 0.00001). Glycemic control significantly improved among the subgroup of patients whose baseline HbA 1c was ≥8%. In contrast, no significant effect of SMBG was detected in patients who had HbA 1c <8%. Conclusions: The available evidence suggests the usefulness of SMBG in improving glycemic control in non–insulin-treated type 2 diabetes as demonstrated by the reduction of HbA 1c levels. In particular, SMBG proved to be useful in the subgroup of patients whose baseline HbA 1c was ≥8%.

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.
