Home monitoring of diabetes mellitus--a quiet revolution
Abstract
Home monitoring of capillary blood glucose concentrations has changed diabetes care, giving physicians and patients a way to adjust their therapy and achieve better diabetic control. The practical strategies and equipment for home diabetic monitoring are discussed, including the changing role of urine testing and how inexpensive machines may enhance the value of blood glucose monitoring.
