When is blood glucose measured?

In self-monitoring of blood glucose it is necessary to know when to measure blood glucose. Diabetic experts recommend performing a blood glucose analysis test 1 to 4 times a day and at different times of the day. In particular:

• Before the meal;
• 2 hours after the time of the meal;
• The evening;
• Before getting insulin;
• When you experience the symptoms of high blood sugar.

Why is it important to measure blood sugar on a regular basis?

Regularly measuring blood glucose values with an analysis test is necessary so that the diabetic patient can keep their pathology under control and can detect in time if there are symptoms of low blood sugar (hypoglycemia) or high blood sugar (hyperglycemia) thus removing the possibility that he could go into a diabetic coma.
