Abstract
We have studied the clinical characteristics of 126 insulin-treated diabetic patients, mainly type I subjects, who regularly performed during 18 months home glucose monitoring. The numbers of strips used each month was of 60 ± 33 (mean ± ISD). During the study period, HbAIC levels decreased from 8.6±2.1 to 7.0 ± 1.3 % (p < 0.001). A significant decrease of HbAIC was also observed in a subgroup of 30 patients, in whom insulin therapy scheme (number of injections a day) was similar before and during home glucose monitoring. Ourresults confirm the benefitsof regularly performed home glucose monitoring.Keywords
