Why do so many studies show no benefit for SMBG ? eg: http://jamanetwork.com/journals/jamainternalmedicine/article-abstract/2630691

06 June 2017 1 1K Report

Self monitoring of blood glucose is so useful in the clinical context. This persistent negative result of studies is counter intuitive.

How do people explain this disparity?

Fazleh Mahomed

The problem here is that low resourced countries will see this research and then divert funding from SMBG to other priorities. This will have repercussions in clinical care
