A retrospective assessment of the daily blood glucose measurements over a period of four weeks was carried out on 38 insulin-dependent diabetics. It was found that for five pregnant diabetics and three diabetics with poor control, mean blood glucose fell from 9.6 to 7.9 and 14.4 to 11.0 mmol/l respectively. In contrast to eight overseas reports on home monitoring, the remaining patients made no significant improvement in their mean blood glucose at the end of four weeks. We conclude that this is probably due to the minimal supervision and possibly to the relatively short period of self-study by these patients. However, 50 percent reported fewer episodes of hypoglycaemia and 89 percent wished to continue blood testing.
对38名胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者进行了为期四周的每日血糖测量回顾性评估。结果发现，5名妊娠糖尿病患者和3名血糖控制不佳的糖尿病患者，其平均血糖分别从9.6降至7.9以及从14.4降至11.0毫摩尔/升。与八篇关于家庭监测的海外报告不同，其余患者在四周结束时平均血糖没有显著改善。我们得出结论，这可能是由于监督极少，也可能是由于这些患者自学时间相对较短。然而，50%的患者报告低血糖发作次数减少，89%的患者希望继续进行血糖检测。
