Suggested Testing Times and Target Goals

Tracking your blood glucose concentration through frequent testing is an
important part of proper diabetes care. Your diabetes healthcare professional
will help you to decide the normal target range for your glucose levels. They
will also help you to determine when and how often you should test your blood
glucose. Some suggested times are:
• When you wake up (fasting level)
• Before breakfast
• 1-2 hours after breakfast
• Before lunch
• 1-2 hours after lunch
• Before or after exercise
• Before dinner
• 1-2 hours after dinner
• Before bedtime
• After a snack
• At 2 or 3 AM, if taking insulin
You may need to test more often whenever:
• You add or adjust your medication for diabetes.
• You think your blood glucose levels may be too low or too high.
• You are ill, or feeling uncomfortable over long periods of time.
