Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose for People with Diabetes
Self-management of diabetes is one of the cornerstones of diabetes self-care. As such, Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) is an important and essential tool for people, like you, who are living with diabetes. And, remember, SMBG should be individualized for you, depending on your own unique set of circumstances.
The Association has developed three SMBG tools—one for healthcare providers and two for people living with diabetes—to not only identify SMBG recommendations and pattern management for healthcare providers, but to provide essential information and education for patients for optimal self-management.
Building these tools into your daily routine will help to ensure that you not only receive the best support from your healthcare provider, but enable you to take effective action based on your own SMBG results.
