Supervised self-monitoring improves diabetes control in clinical trial

For people with diabetes not treated with insulin, unsupervised self-monitoring of blood glucose levels has not been found effective at improving glycaemic control. In a randomized trial, researchers report on a strategy where patients submit their home blood glucose results to a website monitored by a nurse or physician, who responds to guide patients. They show this supervised approach, which includes adjusted treatment or reinforcing lifestyle changes when needed, to be effective in controlling diabetes.
