We evaluated whether self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) leads to better glycaemic control (HbA1c) in patients with type 2 diabetes on conventional insulin regimens.
Article
Hyperglycaemia is well known to cause reductions in plasma Na+ levels or even hyponatraemia due to an osmotically induced dilution of the interstitium and blood. It is, however, unclear whether this dilution is s...
