| Popis: | Comprehensive care of diabetes requires satisfactory stewardship of an underutilized prescription in diabetes management: the prescription for structured blood glucose monitoring (BGM). Structured BGM is a recommended schedule of actionable blood glucose measurements taken at specific times with the intent of using the data for individualized patient education and therapeutic intervention. The utility of different BGM protocols is logically dictated by a patient’s therapeutic regimen. This article reviews the prescription for structured BGM in the setting of intensive insulin, nonintensive basal insulin, and noninsulin treatment regimens. Evidence-based prescriptions of structured 5- to 7-point BGM profiles in diabetes provide essential information for productive clinician- and patient-directed therapeutic interventions. The effective implementation of structured BGM aids clinicians in achieving the desired goal of A1C reduction while bolstering patient education and empowering self-management. |
