When my daughter was first diagnosed I checked her blood sugar a minimum of 4 times per day !.!.!. though I always check it more often than that these days!. Sometimes as many as 12 - 14 times per day, especially when she's very active!. Maybe as few as 6 times on a day when she's being a lump on the couch!. And I usually check her at least once in the middle of the night!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
depending upon if your doctor told you, you have diabetes, and what level you are!. My husband is type 2!. He does it quarterly, meaning he fasts for 12 hours and goes into the hospital to have his blood drawn!. The hospital has a computerized print out that tells every second of every day what his blood sugar was for the past three months!. My husband has been type 2 for years and it has been maintained through medications so far no shots!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

It varies from person to person!. One on insulin have to check more often than those not on insulin!.
Newly diagnosed have to check it more often and once they start knowing about their levels after eating and perorming activities they can reduce their checking frequency!.
