72nd Annual ADA Scientific Sessions: Self-monitoring for Type 2 patients not well received

June 12, 2012
By Mark McCarty
PHILADELPHIA Makers of continuous glucose monitors and test strips typically find a welcoming audience among diabetics, but a June 9 session at this year's edition of the scientific sessions by the American Diabetes Association (ADA; Alexandria, Virginia) indicates that many physicians are not terribly impressed with self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG). A session on this subject featured a debate on the pros and cons, but even the advocate of SMBG sounded less than wholly enthused at the practice, arguing at one point that "a conclusive study" in support of SMBG "is still missing."
