[QUOTE="Shellbellx, post: 1017250, member: 245596"] Hi guys, as from a previous post I'm new to the forum and to diabetes. I'm T1 and on insulin injections (novarapid with meals and lantus at bed). From reading posts on here I've seen that the number of testing BMs varies! The least I test is 4 times a day (bfast, lunch, dinner and bed), I've seen on here that some people test 16-18 times a day?! I do test in between if I don't feel right or if I've been unsure of my carb counting. Just looking to get an idea of when everyone tests and if I should be testing a lot more than I am. Say 2hours after meals?? Do u guys do this routinely? I've spoken to my nurse about this as my highest bm of the day is often at bed after my evening meal ... So should I not be testing after dinner when it could possibly have been higher than the bed time reading? She didn't seem to think so as my numbers aren't terrible. Thanks guys! X [/QUOTE]
