The benefits of blood glucose testing for people with Type 2 Diabetes.
There is evidence that structured Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG) can help people with non-insulin dependent type 2 diabetes better understand their condition, improve their blood glucose control and reduce their HbA1c levels if it is part of a structured testing program.
Blood glucose meters have been available on the market to buy however, research suggests unless an individual is supported with guidance on how to test, when to test and what to do with the results, they may not have found testing to have been of benefit to their health or diabetes management.
Research has concluded that should an individual test under the right circumstances with support and expert guidance, they can significantly improve their health. Specifically SMBG has been found to improve blood glucose control, reduce HbA1c and subsequent chances of developing diabetes related complications including amputation, heart disease, stroke and symptoms of depression.
