Justification: An important aspect of diabetes care is the self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) levels in order to assess the effectiveness of treatment and to modify the treatment to achieve the desirable glucose levels. All patients with type 2 DM are recommended to perform SMBG. However, it often requires intervention by health professionals in order to prevent the immediate and serious complications of hyper or hypoglycemia. The frequent SMBG and effective interventions by the health professionals may eventually allow tighter control of blood glucose levels and delay or prevent the complications associated with diabetes.
