How many times a day do you test your blood sugar?

Type one diabetic and it seems I test mine incessantly. At least 15 times a day or about once every hour I am awake. Thankfully my testing supplies are paid for, otherwise I wouldn’t have the luxury of being able to test so often as strips are stupidly expensive. Others out there think this is too much? Am I over doing it, or do you think this is a good thing to do?

It is always best to learn a task the correct way first, and then get better at it. As you learn your own metabolism you will see how different foods affect your blood sugar and then you will be able to test less. You are doing the exact correct process for learning a new, important health issue job only you must answer to. You cannot test too much, especially at first.

im supposed to test five times a day but i only do it about 3 ,4 times a day

Four times a day on my poor calloused fingers.

Soon you learn what your body does when eating certain foods & less testing is necessary. Test on your upper arm, it doesn’t hurt.
