Here are the quick key points:

Good times to test blood sugar:
  • before each meal
  • 1-2 hours after a meal
  • before a bedtime snack
  • in the middle of the night
  • before physical activity (during and after too)
  • if you think/feel it may be high, low, or falling
  • when sick or under stress
When I test:
  • upon waking (fasting)
  • 1-2 hours after breakfast
  • whenever I don't feel good (nauseated)
What does "abnormal" look like:
  • fasting: 95mg/dL or higher
  • 1 hour postprandial (after a meal): 180mg/dL
  • 2 hours postprandial: 155mg/dL
  • 3 hours postprandial: 140mg/dL
