ADMINISTRATIVE INFORMATION 

LPPR rate:
LPPR rate and public price: 36,02 euros including VAT (box of 100; LPPR code 1186722).
Reimbursement is provided for the following indications and conditions:
  • in type 1 diabetic patients: at least 4 SMBG/day;
  • in women with gestational diabetes: at least 4 SMBG/day;
  • in certain type 2 diabetics defined below:
    • insulin-treated patients:
      if insulin therapy includes more than one insulin injection per day: at least 4 SMBG/day,
      if insulin therapy includes a single insulin injection per day: 2 to 4 SMBG/day;
      patients in whom insulin is considered in the short or medium term and before its initiation: 2 to 4 SMBG/day;
    • patients treated with insulin secretagogues (sulfonylureas or glinides, alone or in combination with other antidiabetic treatments) in order to detect or confirm hypoglycemia and if necessary adjust the dosage of these drugs: 2 SMBG/week to 2 SMBG/day. However, reimbursement is limited to 200 electrodes per year for these patients;
    • patients in whom an improvement in glycemic control is sought when the target is not achieved, as an education tool to assess the effect of physical activity, diet and treatment: 2 SMBG/week to 2 SMBG/day. However, reimbursement is limited to 200 electrodes per year for non-insulin-requiring patients.
    Reimbursement of SMBG in type 2 diabetics must therefore not be systematic. It must be part of a well-structured approach in which patient education is important. When prescribing, it is essential to explain to the patient and organize with him or her this self-monitoring with the determination of times, frequency, targets and decisions to be taken based on the results.
