Description
Summary:Modern representation of self-monitoring blood glucose can be characterised by new technologies introduced in recent years, including tools to identify trends and patterns of glycaemia (PatternAlert ™). These technologies simplify self-monitoring and help avoid errors in the interpretation of blood glucose levels in patients. This study examines the primary trends in the management and control of diabetes, as well as the strengths and weaknesses of the control of glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c). In addition, this study raises broader questions on self-control in patients with diabetes mellitus, which are beyond the issues of the normalisation of blood glucose levels.
