The purpose of a blood test meter is to have you check your blood sugar levels so that you can monitor them. Monitoring usually leads to better control. The better your control, the less likely you are to have very high or very low readings, either of which could lead to hospitalization or other nasty side effects. Some people monitor more frequently than others. Any time you feel a little off you can check your sugar. Many people test before taking insulin to adjust the amount they take. Athletes and other active people (or not very active people who are suddenly active, like vacationers hiking) may check after engaging in strenuous activities.
