Fingerstick Glucose Monitoring in Veterans Affairs Nursing Home Residents with Diabetes Mellitus

Sun Y. Jeon et al.

Summary: Despite guidelines recommending less frequent glucose monitoring for nursing home (NH) residents, many Veterans Affairs (VA) NH residents are found to receive frequent fingerstick (FS) monitoring. Our study suggests that reducing FS monitoring may be appropriate for many low hypoglycemia risk NH residents, considering the uncertain benefits and potential burdens and harms.
