frequency of blood sugar testing
I use BGM and check FSG and PP on Sunday. Hb1Ac every quarter.
If you have diabetic complications such as diabetic neuropathy, erectile dysfunction and uncontrolled hyperglycemia, it is better to check your post-prandial blood sugar (2 hours after taking food) daily. It will help you to avoid foods that cause high blood sugar.
HbA1c should be checked once in every 3 months.

If you are under medication and your sugar levels are under control,you may test once in three or four days at different times of the day by turns.You can do fasting one day,two hours after breakfast the next time after three or four days,just before lunch,two hours after lunch.just before dinner and two hours after dinner,Make a chart of these readings,and when you go for next review after three months ,the doctor will be able to pin point at what time of the day your sugar level is peaking and prescribe medication accordingly.You can also refine your diet plan suitably.I follow this method.
