Abstract
Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the most common disease of the endocrine system faced by doctors of all specialties, and it is characterized by high disability and mortality of patients due to micro- and macrovascular complications caused primarily by chronic hyperglycemia. Achieving glycemic targets improves the course of DM and disease prognosis with respect to the development of complications. A priority area in the treatment of DM is patient education and self-monitoring of glycemia using modern glucose measuring tools, including the Contour Plus One glucometer.
Key words: diabetes mellitus, glucose meter, self-monitoring of blood glucose, Contour Plus One.
