It depends on how bad your Diabetes is. Initially I had to test before meals, then two hours after a meal and then again at bedtime. Now I usually test a few times a week or more when I'm sick. My blood sugar has been running at pretty good levels. If in doubt, check with your doctor or nurse practitioner.
