I have taken even ten times in 24 hours! Only after A1C came down to 6.0% without medication, the average is three times a week. My highest was 11.6%

At least once in a week must for Type 2 Diabetic patient as to ensure yourself that one is careful for himself. I have seen when the figure goes up of the reading, the caring patient becomes alerted and takes all precautions.

A diabetic person feels that his BS is normal, above the normal or below the normal. I check it by glucometer but yesterday a nurse said me that its reading are always wrong. I became very amazed.

Depending on diet. If doing some experiments then may test 5-6 times in a week. Otherwise 3-4 times per week.
