ABSTRACT
Persons with diabetes in our hospital are taught various methods of self-monitoring. However, the factors associated with this practice are poorly documented. We therefore investigated 100 consecutive patients from our clinic. Seventy-two (72%) subjects practised self-monitoring, 63 by testing urine, 8 by testing blood glucose, and 1 person by tasting his urine. Most tested once a week, and the frequency of testing differed on the basis of the method employed and also the level of education. We therefore recommend the inclusion of routine teaching of self-monitoring to diabetic persons in health educational talks
