      the testing strips are so expensive – do we recommend testing fasting BG, pre and meals and 2 hours post meals?

      should we recommend testing before bed?

      The best times are random testing pre meal, 1 hour post meal and fasting approximately 3-4 times a week and dining random meals (breakfast/lunch/dinner). This way you can see if you are more insulin resistant in the morning afternoon or dinner.
