The goal of self Monitoring of blood glucose is structured so that the result can be read (interpretation), so it's beneficial for the adjustment of the dose of the drug.
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) has some guidelines for patients with type II diabetes who are not using insulin to do the SMBG. SMBG should be performed by an educated diabetic, SMBG should be noticed from the beginning of a new diagnosis, Patients of SMBG should be considered as part of the educational module on the diabetes milling arrangement with the ability of each patient, setting Schedules and frequency of SMBG tailored to the needs of each patient, prior agreement between the need for SMBG diabetics with her doctor about the purpose of SMBG, the use of SMBG in need an easy procedure to monitor the performance and accuracy of the blood sugar test kits
Examination of blood sugar independently can be done with some ideal time period i.e. 2 – 3 days according to needs of diabetics, made at the time before and after a meal. The combination of tests is the simplest example of a structured SMBG.
Target blood glucose test results are:
· Fasting blood sugar/before eating → Under 100 mg/dL
· Blood sugar after eating → Under 140 mg/dL
