Check Blood Sugar Three Times Daily

If you don’t know there is a problem how can you fix it? Checking blood sugar for a diabetic is mandatory. This applies to Type I and Type II diabetics. I check my blood sugar at least 8 times per day. I do this to allow me to closely monitor my blood sugar level. As a disciplined diabetic, I run the risk of low blood sugar episodes more frequently than a normal diabetic. By checking this often, I am constantly able to calculate the level of insulin and food intake needed for the upcoming events of my day. Stress from work or life as an adult diabetic causes my blood sugar to drop. However, low blood sugar is only a short term hazard of diabetes. The real culprit of diabetes and blood sugar is elevated blood sugar for extended periods of time.
