Overview
Glycemic control
- Self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is accurate and easy to use by patients. It allows patients to evaluate their individual response to therapy and assess whether glycemic targets are being achieved. SMBG is mostly used for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus but some patients with type 2 diabetes who require basal insulin will benefit from this method of monitoring.
