Abstract: Diabetes mellitus is a common and frequently-occurring disease threatening human health.Poor glycemic control and management can lead to multi-system complications causing a heavy burden on families and society.Self-monitoring of urine glucose（SMUG）is an important tool for patients with type 2 diabetes to monitor their disease evolvement，manage their diet and medication in their daily lives.This review described the origin and evolution of SMUG，introduced its effectiveness and advantages，and summarizes its influencing factors，usage and considerations.This paper pointed out that SMUG，as an ancient monitoring tool，was an appropriate approach for diabetes management because of its painless，low price and good compliance.It was further suggested that in some undeveloped areas or among people who have no access to blood glucose monitoring，SMUG should be taken into consideration for its significance and value.Moreover，the community physicians as well as the government officers may need to promote the use of SMUG along with some correct guidance and strong support.Meanwhile，more related researches on SMUG should be conducted by professionals to standardize its monitoring methods and considerations，so that SMUG could play a greater role in the health economics.
