How often are diabetics retested

How often diabetic patients with stable blood glucose should be reviewed is related to the items to be examined. If blood glucose is examined, it is usually reviewed once every 15 to 30 days; if glycated hemoglobin is examined, it is reviewed once every 3 months; and if it is for complication screening, it is reviewed at least once a year. Diabetic patients with poor glycemic control should be rechecked relatively frequently according to the situation.
1. Glucose measurement: Venous plasma glucose measurement is commonly used in the clinic and can be used to monitor the blood glucose value of diabetic patients. It is generally recommended that patients should be rechecked at least once every 15-30 days.
2. Glycated hemoglobin: It can reflect the average level of blood glucose in the 8~12 weeks before blood sampling, and it is one of the monitoring indicators for diabetes control, and it is generally recommended that patients should be rechecked every 3 months.
3. Screening for diabetic complications: such as funduscopic examination, vascular ultrasound, gastrointestinal function dynamics examination and other examination items, generally recommended at least 1 review. If there is already a combination of hypertension, coronary heart disease, hyperlipidemia and other metabolic abnormalities of the population, it is recommended that at least half a year review.
Some patients with poor glycemic control, review to be more frequent, such as the use of insulin intensive treatment, the doctor prescribed insulin or insulin pump treatment patients, it is recommended that after 1 month to the hospital review, to observe the current intensive treatment program needs to be adjusted, whether or not to continue intensive treatment.
The above is for reference only, the exact time of review for diabetic patients varies from person to person, it is recommended to consult an endocrine specialist.
