Abstract

Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a crucial tool in the management of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetics on insulin, and for Type 2 Diabetics who are titrating medications and/or undergoing lifestyle changes. Patients often fail to bring in their SMBG readings (or monitor at all) for a variety of reasons, hindering efforts to adjust their therapy. This project aimed to address this issue by educating patients and attendings about EPIC's ability to log blood glucose measurements through MyChart.
