Nurses play a pivotal role in monitoring glycemic variability. This can be achieved through various methods:
1. Continuous Glucose Monitoring (CGM): CGM devices provide real-time data on glucose levels and are highly effective in tracking variability.
2. Self-Monitoring of Blood Glucose (SMBG): Regular blood glucose checks using a glucometer can help in identifying patterns and fluctuations.
3. HbA1c Testing: Although HbA1c provides an average blood glucose level over 2-3 months, it does not capture daily fluctuations. However, it is still an important tool in the overall management of diabetes.
