Blood glucose monitoring is an essential part of life for those who take insulin to manage type 1 or type 2 diabetes, and it’s the primary way to tell if your blood sugar levels are within the target range.

For people with diabetes who measure their glucose levels several times a day with a blood glucose meter, a blood sugar log is an invaluable tool. Get a free printable blood sugar log sheet and keep track of your health!

Benefits of Using a Blood Sugar Log Sheet

By consistently recording and reviewing your blood sugar levels, you and your healthcare provider can identify patterns and develop an effective diabetes care plan.

Over time, this plan can be improved based on how your blood sugar responds to food, medication, and physical activity.

Blood Sugar Level Recommendations

Your blood sugar levels may change as you go about your daily routines.

  • Before a meal: The American Diabetes Association recommends that pre-meal blood sugar levels be between 80 and 130 mg/dL for most non-pregnant adults with diabetes.
  • After a meal: The recommendation for blood sugar level measured one to two hours after a meal is less than 180 mg/dL.

These target ranges may need to be adjusted for individuals based on age, cardiovascular health, duration of diabetes, and other factors.

It’s essential to speak with your healthcare provider to determine your optimal target ranges.

Get Continuous Glucose Monitors at Low Cost

If you have type 1 diabetes, take insulin or use an insulin pump, check your blood glucose levels several times a day, and require frequent adjustment to your insulin dose, your health insurance plan may help cover the cost of a continuous glucose monitoring (CGM) device.

A modern alternative to traditional blood glucose meters, CGM devices don’t require painful fingersticks. Instead, they rely on a small sensor implanted just below the skin to measure and report blood glucose levels every few minutes. This type of system produces many more blood sugar readings than a blood glucose meter and can help provide you and your healthcare team with a complete picture of your health.

Using a CGM is also much more straightforward than creating a glucose logbook by hand. It lets you digitally store your blood glucose data and easily share it with your healthcare provider!

If you’re interested in transitioning from a blood glucose meter to a CGM system, the first step is to consult with your healthcare provider. Only they can advise whether you would benefit from a CGM device and if you meet the requirements for insurance coverage.

Aeroflow Diabetes can work directly with your provider and Medicare or private insurance plan to ensure you receive maximum benefits. Currently, we offer both the Dexcom and Freestyle Libre Systems devices, which are all eligible for coverage through insurance.
