This retrospective study aimed to analyze the blood capillary glucose at home and the number of hypoglycemic and hyperglycemic episodes presented by persons with Diabetes Mellitus, at the start of, and at least six months after beginning to participate in, the Blood Glucose Self-Monitoring Program. A total of 97 service users with diabetes participated, from a municipality in the non-Metropolitan region of the state of São Paulo. Two spreadsheets were used for recording the blood glucose values at the start of the Program and after a minimum of six months. It was observed that there was an improvement in the postprandial blood glucose level (lunch) and in the very early morning (p<0.05). In relation to hypoglycemic episodes, there was a slight improvement in the mean, from 0.75 at the beginning to 0.49 after a minimum of six months' participation in the Program. The reduction of hyperglycemic episodes was, in the beginning, of 27.88% episodes and, at a minimum of six months' participation in the Program, of 29.15% episodes.

ABSTRACT Objective: to evaluate the contributions of an educational program for capillary blood glucose self-monitoring. Method: a quasi-experimental study performed in an outpatient unit of a tertiary health care service in a sample of 25 people with Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, from July 2016 to December 2017, developed through interactive tools for care with capillary blood glucose self-monitoring. Results: among the items of capillary blood glucose self-monitoring that showed improvement after participation in the educational program, the most noteworthy are the “postprandial blood glucose values” (p=0.0039), “Interpretation of capillary blood glucose results with meals and medications” (p=0.0156), “recognition of the ‘weakness’ symptom for hyperglycemia” (p=0.0386) and “administration of medications correctly” for hyperglycemia prevention (p=0.0063). Conclusion: the study made it possible to recognize the main characteristics of blood glucose self-monitoring that may contribute to the care for the person with diabetes.

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease that continues to increase from year to year. The act of detecting hypoglycemic episodes is a must for a diabetic patient. This study aims to present the optimization of blood glucose self-monitoring measures in patients with diabetes mellitus and to review some of the literature on this topic.Methods: This study is a form of literature review of articles with the theme Optimization Self Monitoring Blood Glucose in diabetes mellitus patient detecting hypoglicemia episodes. Articles in this study came from the electronic databases of Google Scholar, PubMed, Proquest, Scopus and Science Direct from 2005 to 2020. Results: Search results using the keywords Self Management Blood Glucose, Hypoglicemia, Diabetes Mellitus were obtained from 57 articles. 18 articles that met the inclusion criteria were then reviewed for their full text. Conclusion: Self Monitoring Blood Glucose is a preventive measure in detecting hypoglycemic episodes. This intervention is the best choice for patients to prevent further complications.

OBJECTIVE: to evaluate the structure, process and results of the Capillary Blood Glucose Self-monitoring Program in a Brazilian city.METHOD: epidemiological, cross-sectional study. The methodological framework of Donabedian was used to construct indicators of structure, process and outcome. A random sample (n = 288) of users enrolled and 96 health professionals who worked in the program was studied. Two questionnaires were used that were constructed for this study, one for professionals and one for users, both containing data for the evaluation of structure, process and outcome. Anthropometric measures and laboratory results were collected by consulting the patients' health records. The analysis involved descriptive statistics.RESULTS: most of the professionals were not qualified to work in the program and were not knowledgeable about the set of criteria for patient registration. None of the patients received complete and correct orientations about the program and the percentage with skills to perform conducts autonomously was 10%. As regards the result indicators, 86.4% of the patients and 81.3% of the professionals evaluated the program positively.CONCLUSION: the evaluation indicators designed revealed that one of the main objectives of the program, self-care skills, has not been achieved.

Objetivo: Analisar o conhecimento e as práticas de usuários com Diabetes Mellitus (DM) acerca da Automonitorização da Glicemia Capilar (AMGC) realizada no domicílio. Métodos: Estudo descritivo-exploratório, com metodologia qualitativa, desenvolvido em abril e maio 2013, com usuários com DM atendidos pelo sistema público de saúde de um interior pernambucano. Os dados foram coletados por meio de entrevistas e verificados por análise categorial temática, a amostra foi selecionada por meio da saturação do discurso totalizando 12 usuários com DM que realizam a AMGC no domicílio. Resultados: A análise de conteúdo dos dados possibilitou identificar três categorias: Realização da AMGC de forma não racional; Ausência de programas educativos para orientar sobre a realização da AMGC; Disponibilização insuficiente de insumos aos usuários que realizam a AMGC. Conclusão: Apesar dos avanços legalmente alcançados pelas políticas públicas, os usuários com DM desconhecem a legislação e como está interfere diretamente na realização da AMGC.

Blood Glucose Self Monitoring

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder associated with microvasular and macrovascular complications, the prevention of which is an important challenge of modern medicine. Contemporary methods for diabetes management rely on the active involvement of the patient. Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) provides the basis for efficient antihyperglycemic therapy and prevention of hypoglycemia, as well as for the improvement of patient adherence to treatment. The importance of SMBG has further increased during the COVID-19 pandemic, since the adequate glycemic control can reduce the risk of COVID-19 infection and the disease severity in patients with DM. The recommended frequency of SMBG in patients with DM is discussed. A variety of glucose meters are available for measurement of blood glucose. Compliance with accuracy standards, simplicity and convenience for patients are the important criteria for selecting the glucose meter.

Blood Glucose Self Monitoring

Glycemic self-monitoring is essential in  the  treatment of  diabetes mellitus. Compliance with the  recommendations for  selfmonitoring of glycemia is an important condition for the prevention of diabetes complications. The article provides a review of the problems associated with blood glucose self-monitoring faced by diabetic patients and doctors. These include low frequency of blood glucose self-monitoring, technical errors in glucose measurements, errors in keeping a diary and errors in using measurement data to diabetes control. The blood glucose monitoring system, which includes the glucometer, test strips, application, сloud for data storage can be used for blood glucose self-monitoring in patients with diabetes mellitus. The article discusses the features and advantages of the blood glucose monitoring system. The advantages of the glucometer are the no сoding technology and the following options: аpplication of additional amount of blood to the test strip; adding meal marks, testing as the measurement results compare with targets and informing about it; storage a large number of measurement results. In addition to the standard blood glucose measurement, the glucose meter and the application offer many features to improve blood glucose self-monitoring that can help to improve diabetes management: automatic transferring measurement results to smartphone or tablet; saving notes in logbook; display of glucose trends and testing as they compare with targets; offering quick and valuable tips for critical high/low glucose values.
