Tip of the Week - Keeping a Blood Sugar Log
Keeping a blood sugar log (booklet or handheld device) can help with diabetes management.
Track:
- date & test time,
- blood sugar reading,
- food consumed, if testing after a meal - (note larger portions
than usual or alcohol consumed), and
- any notes regarding what could be impacting your blood sugar (i.e.
feeling sick or just exercised).
A log can help you and your healthcare team understand how well your diabetes is being controlled and make any necessary adjustments.
