Typ 2 diabetes when should i do my blood test and what reading should i aim for?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
A1c: Hemoglobin A1c is a better tool for monitoring and you should aim of a level of less than 7.0. If you want to do blood tests, do first morning and two hours after every meal to get an idea of what may be leading to high glucose.
