When should you use a blood glucose monitor to get the most accurate results?

1. Why is it important to measure Blood Glucose at the right time?

Testing blood glucose at the appropriate time helps to:

• Accurately assess blood glucose levels without being influenced by food, physical activity, or emotional stress.

• Optimize treatment by helping doctors and patients evaluate whether current medications are effective.

• Prevent hypoglycemia caused by incorrect insulin doses or skipped meals.

2. Should you est Blood Glucose while fasting or after eating?

Fasting and post-meal blood glucose tests are the most common and informative:

Fasting Blood GlucoseTest

• Should be done after at least 8 hours without food.

• Provides the most accurate baseline for diagnosing diabetes.

Postprandial Blood Glucose Test

• Should be done 1–2 hours after a meal.

• Shows how the body processes glucose after eating.

• Especially important for those with type 2 diabetes or those following strict dietary plans.

3. Ideal times to check Blood Glucose during the day



Depending on your goals, ideal testing times may include:

• Morning (before breakfast): Most common time, used to evaluate fasting blood sugar levels.
• Two hours after meals: Helps assess how specific meals affect blood glucose.
• Before bedtime: Especially important for those prone to nighttime hypoglycemia.
• Before and after exercise: Useful for adjusting workout intensity, especially for diabetics.
• When experiencing unusual symptoms (e.g., dizziness, shakiness, cold sweats): May indicate low or high blood sugar.

4. Factors that may affect Blood Glucose Readings

• Intense physical activity before testing: May cause temporary blood glucose drops due to increased glucose metabolism.
• Stress or anxiety: Triggers hormones that raise blood glucose.
• Medications: Corticosteroids, contraceptives, and others may skew results.
• Lack of sleep: Disrupts metabolism and insulin sensitivity.
• Poor testing technique: Testing with unclean hands or right after exercising can affect accuracy.

5. Recommended Glucometer for accurate, stable results
