Purpose: This study was conducted to investigate performance of self-monitoring of blood glucose and the utilization of results for people with type Ⅱ diabetes.
Method: Data was collected from 177 patients with type Ⅱ diabetes using a questionnaire from August to September, 2009.
Result: Most participants performed self-monitoring of blood glucose in the correct way while some misused the lancet or test strips. In the utilization of results for self-monitoring blood glucose data, 62% of participants always recorded the data, 46% always understood the cause for hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia, 25% changed their diet, 23% regulated their exercise-amount, and 11% of participants adjusted the drug dosage. There were significant differences in the performance of self-monitoring of blood glucose and the utilization of results according to the characteristics in the self-monitoring subjects such as awareness of HbA1c, target fasting glucose level, target fasting glucose level 2 hours after meal etc.
Conclusion: Systemic self-monitoring of blood glucose education which includes the utilization of self-monitoring of blood glucose needs to be developed for type Ⅱ diabetic patients.
