A method of instruction enabling patients to control their diabetes is described. The patients learn through home glucose monitoring how their blood sugar levels vary with changes in diet, exercise, and insulin. They learn to chart accurately all the factors influencing their control in a manner that enables them, as well as the physician, to analyze them quickly. From this information they learn to anticipate the results of various changes in life-style and, thus, to live beyond the customary constraints of the disease without loss of glycemic control. Significant improvements in neuritis, impotence, and creatinine clearance rates are reported.
描述了一种使患者能够控制糖尿病的指导方法。患者通过家庭血糖监测了解血糖水平如何随饮食、运动和胰岛素的变化而变化。他们学会以一种能让自己和医生快速分析的方式，准确记录所有影响血糖控制的因素。从这些信息中，他们学会预测各种生活方式改变的结果，从而在不失去血糖控制的情况下，突破该疾病通常的限制。报告显示神经炎、阳痿和肌酐清除率有显著改善。
