Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is common in patients with diabetes. The aim of this study was to explore how frequency/behavior of SMBG affect glucose control in patients with type 2 diabetes. This cross-sectional study was conducted at a regional teaching hospital in Taiwan. All participants completed a structured questionnaire about the frequency and behavior of SMBG, and hemoglobulin A1C (A1C) data were recorded from medical records. A total of 382 diabetes outpatients participated in the study. In the patients using insulin injections, A1C was better in patients with SMBG ≥ 28 times than in those with SMBG < 28 times per month (7.82 ± 1.86% vs. 8.33 ± 1.31%, p = 0.025). In the patients not using insulin, A1C was better in patients with SMBG > 14 times than those with SMBG ≤ 14 times per month (7.08 ± 0.23% vs. 7.55 ± 0.08%, p = 0.038). The patients who more frequently reviewed the causes of hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia had a better A1C level (p for linear trend 14 times could improve glycemic control for insulin-requiring and non-insulin-requiring type 2 diabetes patients, respectively. Further exploration of the cause of hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia shown by SMBG could also improve blood glucose control. |
