Abstract:In the light of evidence that emerged from the UKPDS (1998) and the DCCT (1993), individual patients must be made aware of the importance of blood glucose monitoring. A multidisciplinary group of healthcare professionals met to discuss blood glucose self-monitoring in type 1 and type 2 diabetes. This article outlines the consensus that they reached and provides a general basis upon which individual patient care plans may be formulated. Advice is given on home blood glucose monitoring systems for people with different regimens for type 1 and type 2 diabetes.
