Long-Term Effect of the Color Record Method in Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose on Metabolic Parameters in Type 2 Diabetes: A 2-Year Follow-up of the Color IMPACT Study.

ABSTRACT:

Introduction

This article evaluates the potential long-term effect of two different color indication methods for self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG), the color record (CR) and color display (CD), on metabolic parameters in insulin-treated type 2 diabetes in a post-intervention period.

Methods

101 participants with type 2 diabetes who completed the Color IMPACT study were enrolled in a 2-year comparison follow-up study. Participants continued SMBG with their usual diabetes care. The study outcomes were differences in change in HbA1c levels, blood pressure (BP), body weight and lipid profiles between the CR and non-CR arms and the CD and non-CD arms during a 1- and 2-year period of the study.

Results

98 participants were analyzed. Reductions in HbA1c levels, systoli
