Key Recommendations for Choosing the Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose Schedule for Titration

Ideally, fasting values as well as postprandial plasma glucose values are needed for optimal titration of basal insulin, but considering the unique dynamics of India, fasting values alone will suffice

During the titration period, SMBG needs to be performed 2–3 times a week

After achievement of the agreed-upon targets, SMBG should be recommended at least once a week
