The blood sugar in your body changes throughout the day. This is why your doctor wants you to measure frequently, both before and after meals. We recommend that you make blood pressure measuring part of your daily routine so it’s easy to remember.

‍

Your Lara Health app has reminders function to make consistent measuring easy. You can create multiple reminders and even select different times for each day.

Lara Health also sends automatic text message reminders when you don’t measure for 2 days in a row.

Helpful tip

Because your diet affects your blood sugar during the day, you should measure especially when trying new foods. That way you can observe how new types of meal affect your blood sugar and manage your glucose levels better. With time, you will learn how individual meals affect your glucose and will be able to reduce testing during the day.
