Management of the diabetic patient has undergone a minor revolution in the past decade. Better understanding of insulin's physiology, its interaction with glucose and other aspects of metabolism, and knowledge of hyperglycemia's detrimental effects, have contributed to a drive to keep blood glucose levels as close to non-diabetic norms as possible. One of the most important therapeutic advances has been the realization that patients must become their own chief therapists. They therefore must be adequately and intensively educated to understand the interrelationships of diet, insulin, and activity in controlling blood glucose levels. Self blood glucose monitoring is essential to gauge these interrelationships and allows the educated patient to make daily therapeutic decisions.
在过去十年中，糖尿病患者的管理发生了一场小变革。对胰岛素生理机能、其与葡萄糖及代谢其他方面相互作用的更深入理解，以及对高血糖有害影响的认识，促使人们努力使血糖水平尽可能接近非糖尿病标准。最重要的治疗进展之一是认识到患者必须成为自己的主要治疗师。因此，必须对他们进行充分且深入的教育，使其理解饮食、胰岛素和运动在控制血糖水平方面的相互关系。自我血糖监测对于评估这些相互关系至关重要，并且能让受过教育的患者做出日常治疗决策。
