How many times would you test your sugars a day
 
I did a diasend upload yesterday, it says I test 11.7 times a day. But I am completely hypo unaware and I exercise fairly frequently, so that explains the testing. Fingers are over rated, they don't actually need to feel stuff.
 
On average about 8 times a day.
 
In the last 90 days I've averaged 5.6 tests per day.
 
I only tend to my BS when I feel rough, so either end of the scale. I also do it when I feel great, normally the reading is then between 6-7 which is rare!! I have great hypo awareness, and don't really deviate from my diet and insulin control so don't tend to monitor my bloods very often.
