How much, and the need for testing will be reviewed by your GP or Diabetes Team . Where you have agreed a testing plan, testing up to 2-3 times a week is usually sufficient .Vary the time of day BUT testing should always be immediately before breakfast and two hours after main meal . Record results in a diary - you should write the reason (if you know, for example: ate more or less food) for any results which are higher or lower than normal . Dispose of used planets in a sharps box which can be obtained on prescription from your GP practice. Full boxes to ve returned to GP surgery. .
