Randomized Controlled Trial Multicenter Study
Effect of structured self-monitoring of blood glucose, with and without additional TeleCare support, on overall glycaemic control in non-insulin treated Type 2 diabetes: the SMBG Study, a 12-month randomized controlled trial.
To examine the impact of structured self-monitoring of blood glucose, with or without TeleCare support, on glycaemic control in people with sub-optimally controlled Type 2 diabetes. ⋯ Structured self-monitoring of blood glucose provides clinical and statistical improvements in glycaemic control in Type 2 diabetes. No additional benefit, over and above the use of structured self-monitoring of blood glucose, was observed in glycaemic control with the addition of once-monthly TeleCare support. (Clinical trial registration no.: ISRCTN21390608).

To evaluate the association between skin advanced glycation end products and insulin resistance in Type 1 diabetes. ⋯ The results of this study offer strong evidence for a two-way relationship between insulin resistance and advanced glycation product accumulation in the skin in people with Type 1 diabetes.
