A member asked:
How often should a diabetic patient measure blood glucose level??
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Glucose: Patients on short acting insulin often check their sugar 4 times a day, while patients who use oral medications check less often. Patients whose A1c levels who are at goal may not need frequent checks. Be careful if any of your medications can cause hypoglycemia since this would require more frequent checks.
