Abstract

In the context of the increasing prevalence of diabetes, an important task is to educate the patient on the mandatory self-monitoring of blood glucose levels (SMBG), which is an integral component of the treatment and prevention of acute and chronic complications of the disease. On the basis of the SMBG data, it is possible to assess the parameters of glycemic variability, which is the fluctuations in blood glucose during the day and differences in blood glucose levels at the same time on different days. Due to the fact that GV is one of the main criteria for assessing the quality of glycemic control, its correction is considered as a new goal in the treatment of patients with diabetes.
