3.2.7.0 Sec­tion 7

This new sec­tion in­cludes new rec­om­men­da­tions, the self-‍mon­i­tor­ing of blood glu­cose sec­tion for­mer­ly in­cluded in Sec­tion 6 “Glycemic Tar­gets,” and a dis­cus­sion of in­sulin de­liv­ery de­vices (sy­ringes, pens, and in­sulin pumps), blood glu­cose me­ters, con­tin­u­ous glu­cose mon­i­tors (real-‍time and in­ter­mit­tent­ly scanned [“flash”]), and au­to­mat­ed in­sulin de­liv­ery de­vices.

The rec­om­men­da­tion to use self mon­i­tor­ing of blood glu­cose in peo­ple who are not using in­sulin was changed to ac­knowl­edge that rou­tine glu­cose mon­i­tor­ing is of lim­it­ed ad­di­tional clin­i­cal benefit in this pop­u­la­tion.
