Self-inoculation of ungual warts by blood glucose monitoring

[Self-monitoring of blood glucose].

As the point of care testing(POCT), devices for self-monitoring blood glucose(SMBG) are most common. The problems in SMBG can be found in the popularity of SMBG itself. The reasons for the problems are three. First is the innovation of technology. As each maker has developed devices based on their own intention, device to device difference is too large, so that the standardization is needed. Th...

Routine self-monitoring of blood glucose.

Self-monitoring of blood glucose: practical aspects.

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) should be part of a regular management plan for patients with diabetes. Self-monitoring of blood glucose provides information regarding an individual's dynamic blood glucose profile. This information can help with the appropriate scheduling of food, activity, and medication. It is also required for understanding of the timing of blood glucose variations. ...

Color record in self-monitoring of blood glucose improves glycemic control by better self-management.

BACKGROUND Color affects emotions, feelings, and behaviors. We hypothesized that color used in self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is helpful for patients to recognize and act on their glucose levels to improve glycemic control. Here, two color-indication methods, color record (CR) and color display (CD), were independently compared for their effects on glycemic control in less frequently i...

Practical use of self-monitoring of blood glucose data.

Self-monitoring of blood glucose provides information about blood glucose control. The data become useful information and knowledge through careful analysis for patterns that are appropriate or can be corrected. Some analyses can be performed on newer blood glucose meters, but most often, this needs to be done on a computer, tablet, or smartphone. There are a few established methods of presenti...
