[QUOTE="Robert_D, post: 1574389, member: 438009"] Hi [USER=419831]@alphabeta[/USER] Great question. Just an opinion but I hope including a suggestion on your question that provides further data, might be of additional benefit?. The answers to your question "How many times do you check your sugar per day? How many is too much?" can only be fully appreciated once those answers have been allocated into their respective type 1's or type 2' groupings, and whether on insulin regimes or on meds or on diet only etc. If the answers don't include their diabetic status (Type 1, Type 2 or Other) and what if any current medical regime is as part of their answer than those answers in isolation are not going to be as helpful as the question first posed might initially appear. Might I suggest that respondents to this question answer with additional data like whether they are on Insulin or meds (Metformin etc) or diet only and if they test "X" times if they could qualify why "X" times? Obviously if it is in anticipation of their insulin shot dosage or if they are checking re BG control reaction to certain foods consumed or whether one is testing to know if they might suffer from potential high Blood Glucose levels before undertaking formal follow up testings, than the reason for testing and the amount of times one checks makes more sense when trying to understand the reasons why people test so many or not so many times rather than just reading random numbers in isolation.. As I say, just a suggestion but still a great question. [/QUOTE]
