How often you check your blood glucose every day will be established by your doctor and treating team, depending on your condition, but typically:

👉 At first, you'll need to test your blood glucose more frequently (up to 8 times a day).

👉 As your condition improves, you won't have to check it as often, but you'll have to check it at a regular frequency (1 to 4 times a day).

👉 People with type 1 diabetes need to check their blood glucose 3 to 4 times per day on a regular basis, as the amount of insulin they inject directly depends on their blood sugar level before a meal.
