Why Your Patients Hate Blood Glucose Monitoring... and What to Do About It
For many patients, self-monitoring of blood glucose (SMBG) is a fustrating,

the major psychosocial contributors to poor SMBG use and describing innovative strategies for
transforming SMBG from a "de-motivational" to a motivational experience that encourages more

improve glycemic control in adults with type 2 diabetes in combination with metformin,
sulfonylureas, or insulin, when these agents are used alone or in combination with other
anti-diabetic agents. Three double-blind clinical studies demonstrated that add-on colesevelam
therapy yielded a statistically significant reduction in mean hemoglobin A1C of 0.5% vs placebo
(mean reduction adjunct to diet and exercise to reduce elevated low-density lipoprotein cholesterol
of 0.54%; p<0.001). Welchol™ is also indicated as an (LDL-C) in patients with primary
hyperlipidemia as monotherapy or in combination with an hydroxymethyl-glutaryl-coenzyme A (HMG CoA)
