摘要

自我血糖监测(SMBG)有助于糖尿病患者的日常行为和治疗调整他们的糖尿病护理。在尼日利亚，它是糖化血红蛋白(HbA1c)监测血糖控制的一种更便宜、更可行的替代方法。关于尼日利亚糖尿病患者使用个人血糖仪的SMBG做法的信息很少。该研究的目的是评估血糖仪拥有者的SMBG的强度和频率，以及患者和/或卫生保健提供者(HCP)利用SMBG通过行为/治疗调整来实现个性化治疗目标的程度。这是一项横断面研究，研究对象是在哈科特港大学教学医院(UPTH)糖尿病诊所接受糖尿病护理的糖尿病患者，并使用他们的个人血糖仪。他们被连续招募。采用访谈问卷获得的数据采用SPSS 20.0版进行分析，p值<0.05被认为是显著的。共有128名糖尿病患者参与了这项研究，其中40名(31%)为男性，88名(69%)为女性;患者平均年龄52.05±11.24岁，年龄范围26 ~ 70岁。大多数研究对象(72%)处于积极工作年龄组(25 - 60岁)。使用血糖仪频率最高的是26名(20%)每天早上检查血糖的受试者，而62名(48%)的受试者在他们想要的任何早晨都检查血糖。大多数受试者(60%)没有任何记录设备。血糖仪拥有者不仅仅是需要胰岛素的糖尿病患者，超过一半的受试者，66人(52%)只服用口服抗糖尿病药物(OAD)。拥有血糖仪的主要是工作年龄段的人。SMBG协议(频率)是可变的，SMBG数据没有得到最大限度的利用。关键词:血糖自我监测;个人glucometer;糖尿病;血糖

Selfmonitoring of blood glucose practices by people living with diabetes who use their personal glucometers in Port Harcourt, Niger Delta Region, Nigeria

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) assists persons living with diabetes with the day-to-day behavioral and therapeutic adjustments to their diabetes care. It is a cheaper and more available alternative to glycated haemoglobin (HbA1c) in Nigeria for monitoring glycaemic control. Information on SMBG practices of Nigerians living with diabetes using their personal glucometers is scanty. The aim of the study is to assess the intensity and frequency of SMBG by glucometer owners, and the extent the patients and/or the health care providers (HCP) utilize SMBG to achieve personalized treatment goals via behavioral/treatment adjustments. This was a cross sectional study carried out among persons living with diabetes that accessed diabetes care at the diabetes clinic of the University of Port Harcourt Teaching Hospital (UPTH) and using their personal glucometers. They were consecutively recruited. Data obtained by using intervieweradministered questionnaires were analyzed using SPSS version 20.0, and pvalue <0.05 was considered significant. A total of 128 persons living with diabetes participated in the study of which 40 (31%) were males and 88 (69%) were females; the mean age of the subjects was 52.05 ± 11.24 years with a range of 26–70 years. The majority of the study subjects (72%) were in the active working age group (25–60years). The highest frequency of glucometer use was in the 26 subjects (20%) who checked their blood glucose every morning while 62 (48%) of the subjects checked their blood glucose any morning they felt like. Most of the subjects (60%) did not have any recording device. Glucometer owners were not just the insulin-requiring people living with diabetes as more than half of the subjects, 66 (52%) were on oral anti diabetic drugs (OAD) only. Glucometer ownership was mainly by those that were in the working age group. SMBG protocol (frequency) was variable and SMBG data were not maximally utilized.
