Testing times

Yeah I was the same as Jen here.
Yeah I’m just diet controlled. So on 5 days of the week Iv to test 4 times. Just before main meals and before bed and on 2 days of the week Iv to test 7 times. Before main meals and after main meals. All my numbers have been perfect. They actually said I was being too restrictive in the beginning but I’m definitely eating enough and still have good numbers but I don’t understand why I mostly test before meals and not after. Surely it’s after meals you would have problems ?
I'm in NI and have to test 7 times a day, so before and after meals and then at bedtime. Before meals I was told it's because they want to see what your sugars are regulating themselves to when you haven't eaten in a while, same as fasting levels
@Jayne thank you this makes sense ❤️ Iv gotten myself into a bit of a panic that Iv not been monitoring it properly and could be doing harm but Iv only done what I was told to do
Are you diet controlled? I mean that's a bit excessive.. I tested 4x a day. Fasting and 2 hours after meals. I was diet controlled.
