How Many Times In A Day Do You Test Your Sugar Count?
I only do it in the morning, and if I feel bad throughout the day.
I usually test in the morning & if I feel off, I’ll further test throughout the day when needed.
The number of times you should test your blood sugar in a day depends on your specific situation and type of diabetes:
- Type 1 Diabetes: Typically, 4 to 10 times per day
- Type 2 Diabetes: Varies based on your treatment plan. It could include:
- Before meals
- About two hours after meals
- Before bedtime
- Before Show Full Answer
I do FBS most days then before meals, two hours after meals ,before bed plus whenever I don't feel right.I too wear a libre 2 sensor.i don't always check when my libre alarms
1440 times a day 😁
I wear the Libre2 CGM and it sends a reading to my phone every minute
When I was "stick testing" I always tested my Fasting Blood Sugar, that is a key reading for clinical purposes and then I tested 2 hours after (post-prandial) eating my "most carb intense meal" to access whether I'm still "eating to treat"
With those two numbers, averaged by the (app) it calculated my A1C pretty darn close, so readings twice a day, at those instances, seemed to be perfect for me to monitor my average BG
