You should work with your health care provider to decide how often to test, the type of test to use, and how often to report the test results. You should also talk to your health care provider about getting the supplies you need to self-test.
Eating to control blood sugar and blood fat levels, taking prescribed diabetes medicine, getting regular physical activity, and getting regular foot and eye exams are all important for good health and to help control diabetes.
