Re: More GD Questions
My numbers havent always been perfect but thats because when I've gone out to eat i didn't portion right. I'm getting better at it.
I test foUr times a day. First is when I wake up aka after fasting. The other 3times are 2hours after breakfast lunch and dinner

Re: More GD Questions
Thank you for responding.
I'm having some issues with the place I'm at. I had to do these group classes, nothing was 1 on 1. When I start testing, I was supposed to do it 6 times a day before and after every meal. They said we were supposed to see an "educator" 1 on 1 a week after we did this and that if we were doing well, they would lessen the amount of times we had to prick... Well, when I called to tell them I started and needed an appt in a week, they gave me one over 3 full weeks away and there is no way I am going 3 full weeks doing this 6 times a day when my numbers always come up normal, without me even having to change my diet so far.
I was thinking of dropping down to 3 or 4 times a day. Just wondering what others were doing

Re: More GD Questions
HERE IS THE INFO I WAS GIVEN
Test 4 times a day each day
fasting -test immediately upon arising in the morining
2-hours after breakfast
2 hours after lunch
2 hours after dinner
you may also test anytime you feel symptoms of low or high blood sugar levels
glucose ranges
fasting 60-90mg/dl
2 hours after meal 80-120mg/dl
I was told checking the fasting number is very important. So I wouldn't skip that.

Re: More GD Questions
I've been testing 4 times per day from the beginning. I do have an occasional number above the range, but I usually know why it happens. Testing 6 times per day seems like a lot.
