The New Zealand Primary Care Handbook 2012 provides the following implementation advice:
Prior to initiating insulin therapy, it is essential that the patient regularly self-monitors blood glucose levels to assist decision-making about an appropriate insulin regimen.
Assessing blood glucose profile: practice points.
Educate the patient on how to measure blood glucose levels using a meter and how to record results using a log book (see Appendix J for an example) to determine their current blood glucose profile.
Review recorded blood glucose results with the patient to identify their current blood glucose profile and ‘problem’ times of the day.
Use their blood glucose profile to help you and the patient decide on an appropriate insulin regimen (see Appendix J, which includes a logbook interpretation as an example).
