Monitoring your blood glucose levels provides valuable information to help you control your diabetes. How often should you check your blood glucose level? What should you write in your logbook? Let's take a look at both questions. How often should you check your blood glucose level? While this is a matter for you and your healthcare team to decide, most people with diabetes who use insulin generally check three or more times per day - once before each meal and then before bed. For those with Type 2 diabetes who use oral medication(s) or who control blood glucose levels with diet and exercise, check enough to reach your goals. The more information you have about your blood glucose the better job you'll do at managing your diabetes. Checking on a regular schedule and understanding what your levels should be will help you and your healthcare team adjust your treatment as needed. Check more often when: Feeling ill and/or having a fever, making changes to your meal plan, changing in any way your exercise/physical activity, changing insulin or medications. What should I write in my logbook? Writing your blood glucose results helps you learn your blood glucose level patterns - blood glucose levels you should expect to see at specific times of the day. A logbook becomes even more useful - to both you and your healthcare team - when you also write down: What you eat? how much you exercise? Insulin type, dosage and time of day? could glucose control medication(s), and dosage ?Emotion and stress that you experience, along with the time
