How Blood Glucose Testing Can Help You Beat Diabetes


Blood glucose (BG) testing is in fact not just an ordinary way of measuring your level of BG. If it’s done properly, it is actually very powerful in helping you start beating type 2 diabetes. How should it be performed? Read on.

Diabetes patients tend to test their BG level too infrequently. If you are one of them, one thing you should realize is that BG testing is a must if you are really serious to reverse the disease. You can’t ignore it. However, please take note that of course you should stop eating highly processed foods (dead foods) and replace them with healthier foods (live foods) such as vegetables and fruits. You should also exercise on a regular basis so that you can then perform a blood glucose test to analyze your progress and make corrections accordingly.

How often should you test blood glucose level? BG test should be done about 4 times a day (at least), and this include post-meal test. If you are extremely serious in reversing, not just controlling, diabetes, then you should perform a BG test 5 to 7 times a day. Test your BG at the same time every day before breakfast, 2 hours after breakfast, before lunch, before dinner and 2 hours after dinner, plus before you go to sleep each night.

To make it more effective, make use of a logbook or journal so you can record, track, as well as make some corrective changes, specifically to your diet and exercise frequency. Too many diabetes patients do not record their test results, and you should not be one of them.

Don’t forget that you should visit your doctor and demonstrate how you test your BG so that s/he can make corrections, if any. Create a graph of the glucose readings to make analyzing easier.
