This study explores the feasibility and effectiveness of implementing self-monitoring of blood glucose among patients diagnosed with insulin‐dependent type 2 diabetes in rural Rwanda.
Our study showed that among patients with insulin‐dependent type 2 diabetes residing in rural Rwanda, SMBG was feasible and demonstrated positive outcomes in improving blood glucose control. However, there is need for strategies to enhance accuracy in recording blood glucose test results in the log‐book.
