Structured Blood Glucose Testing Associated With Changes in the Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes: Presented at AAFP

Doctor’s Guide -- DENVER -- October 4, 2010 -- Structured self-monitored blood glucose with pattern analysis has been associated with greater reductions in glycated haemoglobin (Hb A1C). It also requires less testing than the standard approach, and promotes more timely and aggressive treatment changes in poorly controlled, non-insulin-treated patients with type 2 diabetes, according to study results presented here at the American Academy of Family Physicians (AAFP) 2010 Scientific Assembly.
