- Abstract
- We have studied the characteristics of insulin therapy and home blood glucose monitoring of 1.200 diabetic patients (590 males, 610 females), mainly type I adults (age: 43 +/- 19 years, mean +/- 1 SD), attending a licensed diabetes center in Belgium which benefits from a National Health Service convention system for providing education and home blood glucose monitoring kits and disposables to diabetic subjects. 50% of these patients were treated with 2 daily insulin injections, while 22% were treated with 3 and 24% with 4 daily injections. 4% of the subjects were treated with a continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion. Patients treated with four daily injections were younger than those treated with other insulin schemes (p < 0.001). Home blood glucose monitoring strip consumption was 2.2 patient-1 day-1. The mean HbA1C level was 8.63 +/- 1.55% [8.54 +/- 1.46 in males and 8.72 +/- 1.62% in females (NS)]. In more than one third of the subjects treated with injections, HbA1C was lower than 8% HbA1C was also below 8% in 50% of patients using 1100-1200 strips year-1.
