Why is SMBG important for people with diabetes? Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) enables better blood glucose control, which decreases the long-term risks of diabetic complications. It allows patients to track their blood glucose levels anytime, which helps prevent the immediate and potentially serious consequences of very high or very low blood glucose levels. Self-monitoring your blood glucose levels is one of the best ways to examine how well a diabetes treatment plan is working for you. ---------------- Frequency Treatment Regimen Multiple daily injections or insulin pump Oral agents or once-daily insulin Oral agents plus once-daily insulin Non-pharmacologic therapy * A collection ofpre- and post-meal glucose test results over a 7-day period.

The table below shows tight diabetes control targets, which are the normal target levels for nondiabetics that have been recommended by ADA. Aiming to control the glucose levels as close as possible to the numbers below will help the diabetic to prevent complications.
