Blood Glucose Monitoring and Testing

How Often to Test Blood Sugar

Blood sugar levels will be checked at least four times each day: before breakfast, lunch, dinner, and bedtime snack (even if no meal is eaten).

Target Range

The diabetes care team will determine your optimal blood sugar range.  The goal is to keep blood sugar within the target range 75-80% of the time. 

Recording Your Blood Sugar 

Blood sugar logs will be checked regularly by your care team to determine if changes are necessary to the care plan.
