Actionable Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: Redefining the Role for Patients Using Multiple Daily Injection Therapy
Open accessAbstract
Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) values is an accepted requirement for patients with diabetes using multiple daily injections of insulin. Nevertheless, for many patients, the full value of SMBG has yet to be realized due to a number of factors that contribute to patients not taking appropriate action based on the achieved result. The reasons for this are complex but are related to the burden imposed by performing the tests, the need for complex numerical calculations, and the demand for undertaking this activity multiple times each day. In the near future, SMBG devices are likely to include technological innovations that are aimed at overcoming these barriers, offering “actionable” SMBG for patients using insulin. These innovations should include technologies that will allow customization and individualization based upon specific therapy regimens.

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.
