Overview

Over the last few years, not only the number of patients with diabetes, but also the number of patients treated for late complications, has been rapidly increasing. One of the major factors contributing to their development is hyperglycaemia. An important part in preventing the complications is improved diabetes control. Self‑ monitoring plays an irreplaceable role in diabetes treatment. It involves measuring glucose levels and altering therapy according to the measured values. This paper summarizes the latest opinions on use of self‑ monitoring to improve diabetes control in patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes and provides an overview of the current opportunities for applying technology in diabetology.

Keywords:
diabetes mellitus – late diabetes complications – self‑ monitoring – continuous glucose monitoring
