Glucometers!?!

• You recommend to Rachel, a fifty-four year old
  patient you recently diagnosed with Type II
  Diabetes Mellitus, that she should purchase a
  home glucose monitor to help improve glycemic
  control. Rachel says that she isnt sure that she
  wants a home glucose monitor. She mentions that
  her neighbor, who is also diabetic, found that a
  home glucose monitor didnt seem to help at all.
  Rachel then asks you to find evidence that shows
  that the use of home glucose monitor is more
  effective than not using one to control her
  diabetes.
