Excerpt

To the Editor: Published randomised controlled trials (RCTs) of self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) in type 2 diabetes have not reached a consistent conclusion with regard to the benefit of using SMBG, especially in non-insulin-treated patients. As a consequence, there is worldwide variability in the use of glucose test strips and policies on reimbursement [1]. …
