Glucose Variability Test in Outpatients

To objectively control the glycemic profile of the patient and to achieve the adequacy of hypoglycemic therapy in insulin-dependent patients, a multifactorial approach is necessary. This article describes a possible option for assessing the clinical situation in patients who are registered in an outpatient clinic. The glycemic response to an established dose of insulin varies greatly between patients, due to intra- and interindividual glucose variability. These parameters consist of a group of factors: the severity of the disease, physical activity, eating behavior and internal insulin sensitivity.
