Abstract
In order to achieve optimal treatment of patients with type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus, it is necessary to familiarize these patients with the origin and nature of the given disease and the possibilities of its treatment. The mentioned information can be provided to patients in the form of educations, which should also include a part designated for self-monitoring.
Self-monitoring will help patients improve diabetes compensation and by reducing the risk of developing acute and late complications, it can also lead to an improvement in their quality of life.
