Abstract: | Technological advances in home blood glucose monitors have no practical value unless the test results are recorded and used for pattern management. This systematic approach is central to the plan of care for patients with diabetes. Pattern management helps patients, caregivers, and referring physicians identify patterns in blood glucose readings, so treatment and/or lifestyle changes can be made without delay. |
