The numbers of reagent strips dispensed during the relevant calendar year were calculated and patients stratified by treatment. We also explored whether age, sex or material and social deprivation were associated with whether a patient received strips.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Results\u2002<\/jats:bold> Proportions of people who received self\u2010monitoring reagent strips increased from 15.5% in 1993, to 24.2% in 1999 to 29.8% in 2009, as did numbers of strips dispensed. While the proportion of diet\u2010treated patients who received reagent strips was still very low in 2009 (5.6%), the proportion among those treated with oral agents tripled from 9.4 to 27.4% between 1993 and 2009. Over 90% of patients treated with insulin received reagent strips and, among non\u2010insulin\u2010treated patients, this was more common among women, younger people and less deprived groups.<\/jats:p><jats:p><jats:bold>Conclusions\u2002<\/jats:bold> The numbers of reagent strips dispensed for self\u2010monitoring of blood glucose has increased and almost all insulin\u2010treated patients receive strips. While few diet\u2010treated patients receive strips, they are more extensively dispensed to those treated with oral agents. Given that self\u2010monitoring of blood glucose is no longer routinely recommended in non\u2010insulin treated patients, strategies to reduce unnecessary dispensing of reagent strips are needed.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec>","DOI":"10.1111\/j.1464-5491.2011.03567.x","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2012,5,16]],"date-time":"2012-05-16T10:21:01Z","timestamp":1337163661000},"page":"792-795","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1002\/crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":10,"title":["Self\u2010monitoring of blood glucose in Type\u20032 diabetes: cross\u2010sectional analyses in 1993, 1999 and 2009"],"prefix":"10.1111","volume":"29","author":[{"given":"J.
