It is very important to control one's own blood glucose level within appropriate range for the sake of preventing the complication of diabetes. In this studies, we showed the patients some knowledges which are necessary for self monitoring of blood glucose. That is, how to match the adjusting number displayed in the apparatus and the one showed in the glucose test paper was taught. Temperature in measuring, mixing of water or alcohol in the test paper, application of blood to the paper, wiping the blood from the paper were also taught.
It was found that these factors influenced on the valures of glucose levels.
It is necessary for us to teach the patients how to measure their own glucose level accurately.
