Although mobile applications bring potential benefits of metabolic control for patients with diabetes, their effect on glycemic fluctuation has been less widely explored. The goal of this study was to utilize data from the Mobile Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose System to obtain a picture of the metabolic progression. Twenty-seven adults with type ...

Background: In the past decade, continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) has been proven to have similar accuracy to self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and yet provides better therapy optimization and detects trends in glucose values due to higher frequency of testing. Even though the feasibility and utility of CGM has been proven successfully in T...

Every eleventh adult has diabetes, and every third has prediabetes. Over 95% of diabetics are of type 2. It is well established that diabetes doubles the risk of heart disease and stroke apart from increasing the risk of microvascular complications. Hence, strict glycemic control is necessary. However, it increases the risk of hypoglycemia, especia...

Despite a marked increase in polypharmacy in patients with diabetes there have been no thorough evaluations of the impact of polypharmacy on the accuracy of any current blood glucose monitoring (BGM) system. This study evaluated the accuracy of a BGM test-strip with respect to polypharmacy using a large clinical registry dataset. Medication profile...

We evaluated the relationship between frequency of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and body weight, A1C, and cardiovascular risk factors in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2D) and obesity enrolled in a 12-week intensive multidisciplinary weight management (IMWM) program. We conducted a retrospective analysis of 42 patients who electronicall...

Background and purpose Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is important to the management of diabetes mellitus, yet most patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) do not perform SMBG as recommended. The current status and influential factors of SMBG in China have not been well investigated. This study aimed to describe the present status of...

Background Despite many new therapies and technologies becoming available in the last decade, people with diabetes continue to struggle to achieve good glycemic control. Innovative and affordable solutions are needed to support health care professionals (HCPs) to improve patient outcomes. Objective To gather current self-management perceptions of H...

Background: Measurement results provided by blood glucose monitoring systems (BGMS) can be affected by various influencing factors. For some BGMS using glucose oxidase (GOx)-based test strips, one of these factors is the oxygen partial pressure (pO2) of the applied blood sample. Because assessing the potential influence of pO2 when measuring capill...
