Self Fast-testing

[Howski]

Hi,

Is it worth doing this myself? If so how often? I have read that the level for diagnosis is 7 and while I understand that lower is better what is a rough figure I should be aiming for?

Thanks in advance

it would helpful if you gave more information so that we can answer your question.
are you diabetic if so what type? do take any diabetic meds.

Type 2 and no meds

Fasting levels advised for a Type 2 Diabetic are as follows:
Between 4 - 7 mmol/l.

Don't go below 4 mmol/l as this is hypo territory.
