Blood Sugar Test: How often should blood sugar test be done? What is the doctor’s advice?

Blood sugar tests show how your body reacts to food, drugs and stress, so it’s important to have them regularly.

It is important for everyone to know how often and when to do a blood sugar test. It depends on your type of diabetes, medications and lifestyle.

Blood sugar fluctuates constantly in diabetes. It may be normal in the morning, but increases after eating. Even if it looks good at night, it may be less in the morning. So it is very important to do regular checkups.

Patients taking insulin should check their blood sugar regularly to see if the medication is working properly. This helps to control the health and make the right decisions.

People with diabetes should check their blood sugar 5 to 8 times a day, before eating, after eating, before going to bed, and sometimes at night.

If you are only taking medication, check your blood sugar at least 4 times a day, once on an empty stomach and three times after eating.

People taking insulin should check their sugar at least 4 times a day. Before eating, after eating and before sleeping. Inspection 4 times a week is sufficient in steady state.

Pregnant women should check 4 times a day for sugar control. If they are only on diet and exercise, a full check-up should be done once a week.
