Abstract

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (BG) levels occupies an important place in the treatment of diabetes mellitus. With an increase in the frequency of self-monitoring of BG, in patients with diabetes, carbohydrate metabolism indicators improve. Thus, self-monitoring of BG is an important factor in the prevention of acute and chronic complications of diabetes. Although new methods for measuring BG levels, such as continuous glycemic curve tracking and flash monitoring, are now widely used, they cannot completely replace BG monitoring with a glucometer. Data are presented on the dynamics of glycemia in a patient with type 1 diabetes, with a disease duration of 58 years, before and after the introduction of self-monitoring of BG.
Key words: compensation for diabetes mellitus, glucometer, diabetes mellitus, self-monitoring of glycemia, malignant neoplasm.
