Update on fingerstick frequency: Less sticks!
I'm doing less fingersticks now that I'm becoming more comfortable with CGMS. I don't think I'm going to go below 8 sticks a day, assuming this would be a typical day. I would add a couple on top of this for additional calibration requirements and other variables:
Stick 1: calibration in the morning/Pre-Prandial prior to breakfast
Stick 2: Post-Prandial Breakfast
Stick 3: Pre-Prandial Lunch
Stick 4: Post-Prandial Lunch
Stick 5: Pre-Prandial Dinner
Stick 7: Post-Prandial Dinner
Stick 8: Bed Time BG
This is my fingerstick frequency over the last few days, averaging to a little more than 8 per day:
DATE | Number of Fingersticks |
Tuesday, September 12 | 8 |
Wednesday, September 13 | 7 |
Thursday, September 14 | 11 |
Friday, September 15 | 11 |
Saturday, September 16 | 6 |
