Abstract
in English, German

Self monitoring of blood glucose contributes to the integrated management of diabetes mellitus. It, thus, should be available for all patients with diabetes mellitus. Self monitoring of blood glucose improves patients safety, quality of life and glucose control. The current article represents the recommendations of the Austrian Diabetes Association for the use of blood glucose self monitoring according to current scientific evidence.

Die Blutzuckerselbstkontrolle erhöht die Patientensicherheit, die Lebensqualität und verbessert die Blutzuckerkontrolle. Der vorliegende Artikel stellt die Behandlungsvorschläge der österreichischen Diabetesgesellschaft zum Einsatz der Blutzuckerselbstkontrolle dar.

Keywords: Blood glucose; Diabetes mellitus; Self monitoring.
