Variability of capillary blood glucose monitoring measured on home glucose monitoring devices
Self monitoring of blood glucose helps achieve glycemic goals. Glucometers must be accurate. Many variables affect blood glucose levels. Factors are analytical variables (intrinsic to glucometer and glucose strips) and pre analytical related to patients.

How people with diabetes integrate self-monitoring of blood glucose into their self-management strategies [PDF]
Background The benefit of self-monitoring of blood glucose by patients has been questioned, and UK policy is generally not to support this, although it is identified that there may be unidentified subgroups of people who would benefit from being ...

Partner support, social-cognitive variables and their role in adherence to self-monitoring of blood glucose in type 2 diabetes [PDF]
In Portugal, diabetes affects 11.7% of the population, of whom about 90% have type 2 diabetes. Patients and their partners are affected and the latter have a direct impact on patients’ adaptation to diabetes.

How Can We Realize the Clinical Benefits of Continuous Glucose Monitoring? [PDF]
Controlling glycemia in diabetes remains key to prevent complications in this condition. However, glucose levels can undergo large fluctuations secondary to daily activities, consequently creating management difficulties.
