[QUOTE="cugila, post: 84362, member: 15325"] Hi Jill. BG testing 2 - 3 times a week ? Who recommends that then ? What will that tell you ? Nothing. That's not sufficient to know if you have tight control of your Diabetes. You need to test much more often. As an indication of how often, I test every day on waking, then 2 hrs after every meal. Sometimes I might add a test before a new meal and then 1 and 2 hrs after to see what effect that meal has on my Bg levels. That control is what will slow or stop Diabetes complications. Losing weight is only part of the story. You may be losing weight and that is to be commended but I am still worried that your Bg levels are not what they should be. Have you had a HbA1c done recently ? Ken. [/QUOTE]
