> 16x daily finger stick blood testing
Is that typical for people with your condition? Once an hour while you are awake? I never knew people had to do it that often.
- tempdiabetic 5y agoI do what works best. Typical is not my concern. A glucometer test takes 20 seconds, total.
- guywhocodes 5y agoI would say it is quite high, I've never been recommended to measure that much even
- sgmoore 5y agoI think the usual recommendation is before meals, two hours after meals and before going to bed. So that was 7 times a day for me. The big problem with testing more times is that you are literally damaging your fingers and hoping that they heal before you need to use that area on your finger again. For me this didn't always happen and is one of the reasons I love my FreeStyle Libre.
