[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2025489"] I would take a step back and think about why you are testing and what you are going to do with the results. Typically, I test when I wake, when I go to bed and before every meal. The reason for this is to take the results into consideration when calculating my insulin dose. Advice to test 2 hours is common for type 2 to work out what is the impact of various foods to decide whether to continue eating or to avoid in the future. With type 1, most people do not need to restrict their diet as long as they correctly calculate their insulin dose. I have not heard advice to test every 4 hours. [/QUOTE]
