A member asked:
I know my a1c and i check blood glucose fasting and post prandial daily. i eat very low carb and workout daily. why do i need a dx???
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dx: If your A1c and fasting blood glucose are all within range there seems to be no need to check your blood glucose more than once a week. If the 'once a week" gives you bad results, go back to treatment. If not - check your blood sugar once a week. If that is OK - relax and enjoy. If not, please see your primary doctor.
