Abstract

Self-monitoring of glucose is a useful tool as part of the treatment of diabetes, as is a balanced food intake, energy expenditure, and medication. This paper describes an approach using the self-monitoring in urine and blood on the various classes of therapies. Some algorithms used to make adjustments in therapeutic medication are also described.
