how often and when do you check your blood sugar? I haven't been checking mine since my diabetes is gone and don't know if I should check at the same times as I did then or not.

Thanks in advance for any advice.

My doctor advised I only need to check it once or twice a week, and to check it in the morning for a fasting read.

With RH (or HC?) - I only check it when I fill like I may be crashing ... then I know I need to take some sugar in - fast. If I feel "funny" but my BS is normal - then taking - eating carbs sugar may cause a reaction - RH. Sometimes - when I feel like crashing - it may be due low BP, or dehydration, or dumping on fat... (sweaty, heart palpitation, funny vision... etc. )

Hala I was wondering about RH. I guess I didn't word my question very well. I am trying to determine if that is an issue for me. There are times not too long after I eat that I feel really bad. When my niece was here the other day we checked my bs and it was 68 which is way too low. I know you had said on another thread that you had RH and I really want to know how to tell if that is what I have, hence wanting to know when to check my bs? I would think it would be different from whem I had Type 2 Diabetes, but don't know for sure.
