... Abstract Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is an integral component of diabetes care for patients with type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM). It is an essential tool for the improvement of glycemic control and to increase patient empowerment and adherence to treatment. The standard recommended...

... that of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) systems. However, the MARD value of all subcutaneous sensors, though continually improving, remains clearly higher, and therefore less accurate, than that reported for capillary blood glucose using the most recent blood glucose meters. A study of Freckmann et al...

... has been made in recent years with self-monitoring of BG (SMBG), with more sophisticated, accurate, and easy-to-handle tools, and intensified schemes involving frequent measurements before and after meals, at bedtime, and during the night [ 1 ]. These strategies, however, all suffer from...

...)' is a software package developed by MeTeDa srl that can be installed on a patient's mobile telephone that works as a carbohydrate/insulin bolus calculator (fig. 1 ). It supports patients in recording the self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) measurements on the glycemic diary, and helps them in the management...

..., two major publications, by Pirart [ 14 ] and Tchobroutsky [ 15 ], pointed out the role of chronic hyperglycemia in the development of long-term diabetes complications. Second, daily self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) was made possible by the invention of fingerprick systems [ 16...

... complications, and perinatal morbidity and mortality. It has been demonstrated that maintenance of near-normoglycemia during the preconception period and pregnancy can reduce the risk of these complications. Despite the use of intensive self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) and the introduction of insulin...

... the factors that contribute to glucose-independent HBA1c variability. Table 1 Variability in HbA1c Therefore, the common recommendation for glucose monitoring includes self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), which is a valuable addition to HbA1c measurements and, in fact, is the only commonly...

... of their offspring during childhood, independent of maternal and child BMI and family history of diabetes [ 39 ]. Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose and Intensive Insulin Therapy Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is considered a cornerstone of modern diabetes care. The first visual blood glucose...

... (i.e., high-dose glucocorticoids) should be taken into account for a correct interpretation of this biomarker [ 39 ]. Therefore, in these situations, self-monitoring of capillary blood glucose (SMBG) and continuous glucose monitoring are more valuable tools for both DM diagnosis and follow-up...

..., which monitors in real time. The STS-CGM system showed a MARD of 21.2% when 6,767 paired sensor-self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) data points, collected during in-clinic days, were compared [ 9 ]. Their second real-time continuous glucose monitor, released in 2007, was the Dexcom Seven, which...
