Questions for your doctor about glucose

Preparing questions in advance can help patients to have more meaningful discussions with their physicians regarding their conditions. Patients may wish to ask their doctor the following questions about glucose:

  1.  What is my target glucose range?

  2. What do my test results show about my glucose control?

  3. How often should I perform glucose monitoring?

  4. Should I test my blood sugar if I feel weak or anxious?

  5. What can happen if my glucose is not controlled?

  6. What are the best ways for me to control my glucose?

  7. How does my diet affect my glucose? Do I need to make any dietary changes?

  8. What exercises do you recommend to help me control my glucose?

  9. How can I avoid a hypoglycemic reaction from exercise?

  10. What action should I take if I experience a bout of low or high glucose?
