What This Means for You
Frequent blood glucose testing is the best means you have for keeping track of how
well you are doing with the factors that affect your diabetes-medication, diet, exercise,
and stress management. Blood glucose test results can also tell you whether your
diabetes is changing in ways that might require an adjustment to your treatment plan.
Always consult your healthcare professional before making any changes in managing
your diabetes.
Frequency of Testing
How often you need to test your blood glucose will vary according to your age,
the type of diabetes you have, the medications you are taking, and your physical
and emotional health. Your healthcare professional will guide you. After deciding
when and how often you should test, it is important that you make testing part
of your routine.
