Hi all,
Just a quick question. How often in a day (roughly) do you check your Blood glucose levels?
For me it's:
During the night,
Before breakfast.
10 o'clock
Before lunch
2 o'clock (2 hours after lunch)
3 o'clock (to see if I need a snack)
Before tea (6pm ish)
8pm
(extra one around here if I've exercised which I do about every other day)
Before bed
I've had a letter from my doctors asking me to cut back on the number of test strips I order, but can't really think which (if any) I can drop.
I'm type 1 and have been diabetic since I was 16 months (I'm 29 now)..
Thanks for your time.
