L'autocontrole glycemique chez le diabetique insulinotraite

ABSTRACT

Many epidemiologic, clinic and experimental arguments suggest that chronic hyperglycemia is the main factor of diabetic microangiopathy. The advent of blood glucose control in the course of the last years represents indisputably an important therapeutic progress. That's the only reliable monitoring method if we want to approach normoglycemia. The method gives security and motivation to the patient and improves his comfort. The balance of blood glucose is better later because of reinforced education and a privileged relation between doctor and patient. It necessitates also an optimal diagram of insulinotherapy. To avoid failure, the treatment must be adapted to each patient's needs and become a wide part of their education and motivation
