Abstract
Home blood glucose monitoring is one of the corner-stones in the management of type I diabetes. This paper summarizes the aims and effects of this method and will discuss the pros and cons with simple patient-adapted meters and visual judgement of the blood glucose strip. It is underlined that a thorough handling of the strip is essential for the result whatever method used. The problem solving capacity of home blood glucose monitoring in unstable diabetes is illustrated.Keywords
