Comment on: Polonsky et al. Structured Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose Significantly Reduces A1C Levels in Poorly Controlled, Noninsulin-Treated Type 2 Diabetes: Results From the Structured Testing Program Study. Diabetes Care 2011;34:262–267

Deficiency in prohormone convertase PC1 impairs prohormone processing in Prader-Willi syndrome

“…*P < 0.05, **P < 0.01 vs. WT. low circulating concentrations of insulin (30,31). Snord116 p-/m+ and WT mice were fasted overnight and injected intraperitoneally with 3 mg glucose per kg body weight.…”

Features of Mobile Diabetes Applications: Review of the Literature and Analysis of Current Applications Compared Against Evidence-Based Guidelines

“…For people with diabetes who do not use insulin, personalized structured education may be the missing link to deriving benefits from SMBG. Some reviews have supported the view that SMBG does not benefit patients who are not using insulin [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 27 ]—having the main end point as glycosylated hemoglobin. In contrast, Polonsky et al [ 28 ] argue that previous research has not considered structured SMBG with proper education [ 28 , 29 ], where participants are empowered with actionable knowledge on how to deal with different circumstances related to blood glucose variability.…”

Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose in Type 2 Diabetes: Recent Studies

“…10 The prospective, randomized STeP study has received widespread recognition. [40][41][42][43] It, however, was not included in Cochrane review because a non-SMBG group was missing. 31…”
