CADTH's Café Scientifique

How Much is Enough?
Testing Your Blood Sugar in Type 2 Diabetes

CADTH is hosting six Café Scientifique events across Canada that will explore the practice of self-testing of blood sugar by patients with type 2 diabetes. Join our panel of experts for a lively debate about the evidence behind this intervention, CADTH's recommendations on the optimal practice of self-testing, and the role of self-testing in the management of diabetes.
