English term

The majority of patients assess their blood glucose through self monitoring blood glucose (SMBG) using fingerstick measurements, to assess and adjust their therapy. Nevertheless, many patients perform SMBG tests infrequently due to inconvenience, pain, or therapy burden.

Discussion

Noni Gilbert Riley Dec 12, 2007:
I´m wondering: is therapy burden referring to the unpleasantness of applying the treatment, because if this is the case, why are inconvenience and pain already mentioned. Cd it be having too many other therapies as well? A kind of sobrecarga?
