Purpose: To evaluate the effects of continuous self monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) on glycemic control in diabetic patients. Methods: Among the diabetic patients who visited the department of internal medicine in H hospital from April 1 to October 27 2008, 76 patients were divided into the experimental group (n=39) and control group (n=36). The experimental group was required to measure blood glucose levels at least twice every other day using SMBG; their compliance was aided by weekly telephone reminders for 3 months after discharge. Glycated hemoglobin, fasting blood sugar and postprandial 2 hours glucose level, triglyceride and high density lipoprotein were measured before and after the study. Results: Baseline characteristics were not different between the experimental and control groups. Three months later, there was a significant difference in postprandial glucose between the two groups (t=-2.042, p=.045). Conclusion: There was significant improvement of glycemic control after the use of continuous SMBG, suggesting its value in strict glycemic control and the merit of an aggressive education program.

A 33-year-old man presented to the plastic surgery department for foreign body removal 1 month after the insertion of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) sensor (Dexcom G5) in the left upper arm. The patient had used the CGM system for 5 years, and the insertion was done in the usual manner. The entire sensor wire was visible on simple radiography and ultrasonography. In the operating room, and the sensor wire was identified in the intermuscular septum and removed. No foreign body reaction or inflammatory signs were found around the CGM, and the extracted wire measured 2.5 cm. Thus, it was assumed that the whole sensor wire was detached from the transmitter, not fractured. No remnant foreign body was observed on follow-up simple radiography.

신체 내 혈당 변화량과 $^1H$ 원자핵의 스핀-격자 완화시간의 변화량이 관련 있음과 원자핵의 스핀-격자 완화시간을 측정하는 방법으로 자기공명흡수법이 제안된 바 있다. 자기공병흡수법에 의하여 신체 내 혈당 변화량을 감지하기 위해서는 검출 영역내 고수준의 자기장의 세기와 균일도의 확보가 필수적이다. 가정에서 손쉽게 혈당의 변화량을 측정할 수 있도록, 본 논문에서는 가정용으로 적합한 크기와 무게를 가지면서 요구되는 자기장의 세기와 균일도를 확보한 무혈혈당측정기를 디자인하였다. 여러 형상과 재질을 갖는 초기 모델들을 설계, 제작하였고, 검출 영역의 자기 특성을 비교하여 최종 재질을 결정하였다. 또한, 유한요소 해석모델을 구축하고 형상 최적화를 통하여 최종 모델을 선정하였다.
