How often should a medical assistant advise a patient with Type 1 diabetes to check their blood glucose levels?
Only when experiencing symptoms of hypo- or hyperglycemia
At least three to four times a day
Once a week
Once a month during a visit to the healthcare provider
Patients with Type 1 diabetes may require insulin to manage their blood glucose levels. It is essential for these patients to monitor their blood glucose levels multiple times a day. Frequent monitoring allows them to adjust their insulin doses properly and maintain their blood sugar within their target range. This helps prevent the acute complications of diabetes, such as hypoglycemia (low blood sugar) or hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). Less frequent monitoring might not provide enough information for effective glucose control and could lead to unmanaged swings in blood glucose levels.
