Is Marital Status A Determinant Of Self-Monitoring Of Blood Glucose?
Glycemic control is one of the most important aspects of diabetes management and is necessary for the prevention or delay of complications associated with diabetes mellitus (DM). Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a technique used achieve glycemic control by revealing day-to-day changes in …

Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose and Hypoglycemia-Related Healthcare Utilization in Saskatchewan
Background Use of blood glucose test strips has dramatically increased over the past two decades in Saskatchewan and has emerged as a major health care expenditure. Although regular self-monitoring of blood glucose using test strips is imperative in certain patient groups, there is no strong …

Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose: A Comparison of Diabetes Educator Instruction Versus Self-instruction
Over the past decade, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has become an increasingly important and widely accepted part of diabetes management (American Diabetes Association, 1985; Consensus Statement on SMGB, 1987; Wing, Epstein, Nowalk, Scott & Koeske, 1985; Wysocki, 1988). It is an important …

The Determinants of Physical Activity, Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose, and Poor Glycemic Control Among Individuals Diagnosed With Type 2 Diabetes in Saudi Arabia: A Cross-Sectional Study Based on the Saudi Health Interview Survey (SHIS)
<p>The prevalence of diabetes and poor glycemic control in Saudi Arabia has increased that contributed to the growing number of deaths in Saudi Arabia. It is known that type 2 diabetes (T2DM) can be prevented but there is a lack information about the magnitude of the of diabetes at national level …

A Novel Glucose Sensor Based on a Deflecting Membrane MEMS Device
Self-monitoring of blood glucose has become an important and critical tool for effective management of patients with diabetes. This thesis describes a novel MEMS (Microelectromechanical systems) sensor that can continuously measure, in real time, the concentration of glucose in a solution. The …

Development and Microscaling of a Novel Glucose Biosensor for Application in a Minimally Invasive Sampling Platform
… regions in the world. Current treatment involves self-monitoring of blood glucose levels by analysis of a blood sample obtained by "finger-pricking". This suffers from non-compliance, and samples at a rate much lower than the Shannon frequency of blood glucose levels. The e-Mosquito provides …

Optimizing Glucose Meter Downloads at Parkland Diabetes Clinic
… consequences. Diabetes requires constant monitoring and attention to various metabolic variables. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) levels has been shown to reduce microvascular and macrovascular disease complications. LOCAL PROBLEM: The Parkland Diabetes Clinic (PDC) encourages …

A RANDOMIZED STUDY OF THE GLUNOVO REAL-TIME CGM EFFECTIVENESS ON METABOLIC CONTROL IN PATIENTS WITH T2D
… This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of the real-time continuous glucose monitoring (RT-CGM) system, Glunovo, in improving glycemic control and patient outcomes in individuals with poorly controlled type 2 diabetes (T2D) compared to traditional self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). …

Social, political and economic implications of self-blood glucose monitoring in type 2 diabetes management
Background: Globally the burden of diabetes is increasing. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has been recommended as part of diabetes management, irrespective of treatment, for 50 years. There is evidence that SMBG does not clinically improve glycaemic control in all patients with non-insulin …

The Application of the Transtheoretical Model of Change to Self-care Behaviors in Type 2 Diabetics
… The Transtheoretical Model of Change (TTM) has been investigated as a model of health behavior change; however, it has only begun to gain recognition in the diabetic population, and has not yet been investigated as it relates to the full-spectrum of diabetes self-care …

The Development of a New Theoretical Framework to Explore Type 2 Diabetes Self-Management Behaviours in UK South Asian Patients: Recommendations for Healthcare Practice.
… such as diet, exercise, medication and self-monitoring of blood glucose. Previous research has highlighted that SA people’s self-management behaviours might be influenced by cultural and religious influences that in turn may explain substandard clinical T2D outcomes in this group. …
