Before meal (x3) + before bed = at least 4 times a day.
If I feel ok through the day and my numbers are always in range, my conclusion is : I can't do better!
minimum 5-6 times a day. Sometimes more.
anywhere from 4-7 times a day. just depending on how I'm feeling.
I used to test about 7 times a day. Now I'm down to doing it about 4. I do it when I wake up, before lunch, before dinner, and at 3am. If you're afraid of falling low after breakfast, eat a little extra maybe an apple or something, nothing that will make you go high. Just a little something to keep you regulated :)
Hope this helped!
Sorry to bump an old thread, but I'm new to the forums and catching up. I test when I feel high or low, usually once every few days. Those that can do multiple tests per day, don't stop by any means! More is better, but some of us aren't up to that level of performance. If you aren't a glucose control superstar, it is still best to do what you can than to give up.
