Most of our family members have diabetes already , from my grandfather to my mother and all my uncles, thats why i have little hope of me not having diabetes as well. Specially because im fond of eating sweets alot .Although im still young i can feel that somehow i have the said condition as well. Actually the reason why i took the time to comment on your topic is because i really want to check my blood sugar level really soon. Thanks for sharing! Hope to see your thoughts and ideas from my simple yet interesting topics too God bless and happy mylotting!

It gets tested every so often, but not every 6 months.

Dear friend, That is right, I do have checked recently it is normal, moreover it is much high for my mother. Even though she is taking insulin injections. Moreover one should be much careful in these cases as it is turns to be very dangerous at times.

Since in our family too many suffer from diabetes that is why I make it a point to get my blood sugar level checked every three months. Whereas in the past my blood sugar fasting was never above 84, these days it is at 100. Seeing this graph, I fear,within next few years I might also be getting this problem.

advokatku oh yes thats a routine for me as I have been a type 2 for many years.the only way to control your blood sugar well is to use your monitor and check at least three times a day and yes' all people over fifty should havetheirs checked every six months' or if they show signs of diabetes get to your doctor and do not wait for six months. Control your blood glucose levels and you can live a long and happy life without any complications.
