[Diabetes-Talk] bringing down a1c numbers

[sjryan2 at gmail.com]

You're Type 2, right? I have never found a single test in the morning helpful in understanding my diabetes. As Melanie says, it would be best to ask your doctor, at least temporarily, to prescribe enough strips to let you test four times per day to give you some idea of what your blood sugar does through the day. It wouldn't hurt, either to talk with a CDE about diet and exercise so you can devise a plan that will help over time.

my doctor recommended at least doing a fasting one in the morning but don't know if that is enough.
