Importance of Testing
Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) is essential to managing
diabetes. Frequent glucose monitoring has proven to provide
signicant health benets for people with diabetes. The Diabetes
Control and Complications Trial (DCCT) showed that tight glucose
control can reduce the risk of diabetes-related complications
such as blindness, kidney disease, nerve damage and heart and
circulatory problems by up to 76%.
1
Early introduction of intensive
diabetes management oers additional benets by lowering the
risk of heart attack, stroke and death from cardiovascular disease
by 57%.
2
By combining SMBG, prescribed medications and a healthy
regimen of diet and exercise as recommended by your doctor, you
can help reduce the overall complications of diabetes. Consult your
healthcare professional to discuss the program that is right for you.
