How often is blood sugar checked

The frequency of blood glucose measurement is not exactly the same for each person’s situation. For recent cases of large fluctuations in blood glucose, frequent feeling of discomfort in the body, and hypoglycemia, the monitoring frequency is increased, and if you want to change the medication or adjust the dosage of the medication, the frequency of blood glucose measurement should also be increased. It is generally recommended to check blood glucose 4-8 times a day, monitoring at fasting, before three meals, 2 hours after meals, before bedtime and at 3 am. After the insulin dose is adjusted appropriately, the frequency of blood glucose measurement can be reduced appropriately, and the fasting and 2-hour postprandial blood glucose can be measured every 1-2 days.
