Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose

Open access
American Diabetes Association·1994·Diabetes Care

Abstract

elf-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an important component of the treatment plan of patients with diabetes mellitus.Its use was the subject of an American Diabetes Association Consensus Conference in 1986 that dealt with issues regarding the intended and actual use of SMBG, the design, accuracy, and reliability of SMBG devices, how well patients were instructed in SMBG, and how patients and health care providers used the information generated to influence metabolic control.Over the ensuing 7 years, these devices have improved in portability and ease of use.Diabetes educators are teaching an everincreasing number of people with diabetes to use SMBG.In addition, the recent publication of the results of the Diabetes Control and Complications Trial has given validity to the concept that better metabolic control can significantly reduce the onset and progression of the microvascular and neuropathic complications of insulin-dependent diabetes (IDDM).

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.
