When to take a blood sugar test?

Speak to your doctor regarding the frequency of checking your blood sugar level. Overall, how often you test for blood sugar depends on your diabetes type and your treatment plan.

What if you have Type 1 Diabetes?

In this case, your doctor will suggest that you test for blood sugar about four to eight times a day. This would be before each meal and snack; before and after you exercise; at bedtime and sometime during the night. If you are ill, you might have to check it oftener and alter your routine or start on another medication.
