Testing your own blood sugar often is a big part of take-charge management, but you need to test more than just blood sugar. Testing also includes a test done by your doctor, called Hemoglobin or A1C testing, which looks at your average blood sugar level over the last 2 to 3 months; and ketone testing, which makes sure your body isn’t burning fat instead of sugar. You also need to watch your weight, blood pressure and blood fats, called lipids. Many people think they can tell what their blood sugar is by how they feel. Some people can feel “”high”” when their blood sugar is low, and some can feel “”low”” when their blood sugar is normal or high. The only way to know for sure is to test your blood sugar. Testing also lets you see how “”behavior”” affects blood sugar. How much did exercise lower your sugar level? How did over-eating change your blood sugar level?
