With all of the times you’ll need to check your levels in a day, it is no wonder why it is so important to have a blood sugar log to help record all of the information!Īll of our Free Printable Blood Sugar Logs and Trackers (which you can see below) have places to record all of this information and more, including your goals or targets as determined with your medical professional’s help, so you know if you are hitting them each day. The most commonly suggested times for you to track your glucose levels are at the start of the day, pre- and post-breakfast, pre- and post-lunch, pre- and post-dinner, and again at bedtime. It also aids in determining whether the steps you are taking to control your blood sugar levels are effective. The monitoring of your blood sugar will help you know if you are hitting your targets which in turn helps to reduce the unpleasant side effects that come with blood sugar levels that are either too high or too low. If you are pre-diabetic or have type 1 or type 2 diabetes your doctor will most likely recommend you track your blood sugar/glucose levels.
