In Japan, the study of the self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) was started in 1976. After that, SMBG gradually became popular among the diabetes clinics, and was covered by health insurance in 1987. Although performers of SMBG constitute only 35% of all insulin-treated patients, it has been highly evaluated that 60% of patients with insulin-dependent diabetes perform SMBG. The results of this study of SMBG revealed that it was useful for the prevention of chronic complications and for the education of diabetes patients. New systems using an electrochemical technology are developing so rapidly that the newest model, with no wiping or blotting of a blood sample, will help the spread of SMBG. We must put emphasis on introducing SMBG as a means of self-management to all patients with diabetes.
在日本，血糖自我监测（SMBG）的研究始于1976年。此后，SMBG在糖尿病诊所中逐渐普及，并于1987年被纳入健康保险覆盖范围。尽管进行SMBG的患者仅占所有胰岛素治疗患者的35%，但据高度评估，60%的胰岛素依赖型糖尿病患者进行了SMBG。这项SMBG研究的结果表明，它对预防慢性并发症和糖尿病患者教育很有用。采用电化学技术的新系统发展迅速，最新款无需擦拭或吸干血样，这将有助于SMBG的推广。我们必须强调将SMBG作为一种自我管理手段引入所有糖尿病患者。
