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.
when should i take my blood sugar levels if i have diabetes type 2?

A high blood sugar level (hyperglycemia) is when the level of glucose in your blood sugar is too high, for example if i tested my blood sugar (I have diabetes) and i was 15.7 I would have to take a correction dose to bring it down to its normal range of between 4-10 (I person without diabetes should be in the range of 4-7)
diabetics should take care taking or oil of oregano, as it tends to lower blood pressure. What type of herb diabetics should take is cinnamon, as that helps regulate blood sugar. Hope this helps.
