Blood Sugar Tracking

Recording your blood sugar testing results

You and your doctor will use your blood sugar testing record to see how often your levels are in your target range. Here are some ideas for how to do it.

  • Use the memory storage feature of your meter and other note-taking features.

    Many glucose meters can store hundreds of glucose readings. Some meters can send the results to your computer or mobile device. This makes it easy to share your results with your doctor.

  • Get printed blood sugar logs.

    You can get these logs from companies that make diabetes medicines and supplies. Or use a home blood sugar diary.

  • Make a blood sugar log in a notebook.

    You can record other information in the log or notebook, such as insulin doses, your exercise, and foods you have eaten. You and your doctor will find this information most useful when looking for patterns and reasons for your blood sugar levels.
