blood sugar control

How many times a day should i check my blood sugar for the best control of my diabetes 1?

6 Comments

Right now I check it before meals and before bed.

I would say that is the minimum amount. It is a good idea to check before exercises or activities…or if you have regular low periods.

    It’s best to keep it like that. Don’t rely on people’s answers here because your professional physician’s recommendation should be consulted.

    Check in the morning when you get up. Before meals and 2 hours after meals. Before bed is ok but not as important as when you get up

    Your Doctor can best reccommend you how many times you should check it but I mostly have heard them say 2-3 times a day (before all meals…. breakfast, lunch and dinner)

    well i check mines before meals and before bed too. that should be fine. but if you are sick, you should check it more often. sometimes when your sick, you might feel hunguary but your blood sugar might be high or the opposite.
