| Rob43,
All cases are different. For me, blood glucose levels can be highly variable so checking frequently (like 4-6 times every day) is critical to maintaining "normal" levels. When I'm much above or below "normal", I take corrective action.
Sounds like you are type 2. If you have A1c readings of 5.2 and are not feeling lows during the course of your week, you may want to revisit with your doctor the subject of testing frequency, then follow your doctor's advice.
If you are not testing multiple times per day, at the very least you should probably be rotating the time of day and when you test in relation to meals when you do test.
Hope this helps! |
