Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is the collection of detailed information of patients’ blood glucose at many time points to maintain more constant glucose levels by more precise insulin regimens. SMBG is performed with personal blood glucose monitors several times per day [1]. SMBG allows real time measurement of blood glucose and reflects the influence of diet and physical activity [2]. Patients may play more active role in the control of their disease by monitoring of their blood glucose [3]. SMBG a necessary component of the treatment regimen in patients with type 1 diabetes. There is growing evidence suggesting that structured SMBG is beneficial for all type 2 diabetic patients regardless of mode of therapy [4]. Although some studies have found that individuals who practice SMBG achieve improved HbA1c values, much of the recent literature has concluded that SMBG behaviors are not associated with improved outcomes [5]. While SMBG is critical for management of diabetes, many patients do not follow their healthcare professionals’ recommendations for self-monitoring.The aims of this study are to determine the proportion of patients with diabetes who perform SMBG in general practice and to identify patientreported obstacles for SMBG.
