Self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) has emerged as an important component of modern therapy for diabetes mellitus. The goal of SMBG is to collect detailed information about blood glucose levels at many time points to enable maintenance of a more constant glucose level by more precise regimens. With innovations in technology, various research and clinical trials have enabled the development of newer and better SMBG devices that include several functions in one device, such as food calorie tracker, energy consumption calculator for various activities, alarm and blood pressure measurement. Such SMBG devices will be preferred more than strips. Thus, the demand for SMG devices has been surging in the country and the market is anticipated to grow at a CAGR of around 14% during 2012 - 2014, says our new research report “China Diabetes Market Analysis”.
