Abstract

Standards 4 and 5 of the National Service Framework for diabetes put an emphasis on blood glucose control. Among other things, the two standards aim to improve the care of patients with diabetes by facilitating optimum glycaemic control. No doubt, blood glucose monitoring plays an important role in the control of blood sugar level. It helps to identify new cases, detect abnormal values, minimize long-term complications and promotes the quality of life for patients. This article illustrates the assessment, planning, implementation and evaluation of glucose estimation. The aim is to inform all members of the multi-professional diabetes team about effective glucose estimation, particularly those who have responsibility for day-to-day monitoring of blood glucose levels.
