Tracking your blood sugar level (or blood glucose level) is highly recommended to give you power over your body and health. Tracking your blood sugar level along with your diet and exercise lets you see how to use diet and exercise to keep you at the right levels and stay healthy. You can also show your healthcare provider your results to help them provide you with a better care plan.

Measuring your Blood Sugar Level: You can check your blood sugar level with a blood glucose meter at any time during the day, but generally people take them before meals and before they go to bed at night. Your health care provider can help you with an individualized schedule.

Tracking Your Blood Sugar Level: After using the meter to find your blood sugar level, enter the date, time, level and any notes into the chart. Notes could include what food you ate, what exercises you did, or anything else that you think influences your levels.

If you are on an exercise plan, ask your doctor for the best time to take your levels, to determine the affects your exercise plan is having.

Another way to check your average blood sugar levels is through an A1C test.

Your healthcare provider can give you your A1C levels through a blood test. The test looks at the percentage of glycated hemoglobin in your red blood cells. Because the average life of a red blood cell is about 4 months, this test will give you a good idea of how you've been doing for the past 2 to 3 months. You can have this test taken every 2 to 6 months. Ask your hcp how often they recommend you take this test.

* Taking the A1C test on a regular basis does not mean you should stop taking your daily blood sugar levels. Consult your health care provider with any questions you have.
