First thing in the morning is your Fasting Blood Sugar then 2 hours after you eat breakfast, lunch, and dinner. So 4 times a day.
Now, how many times a day do you do it and when?
I do, and my doctor said that it doesn't affect your baby if you are eating right and keeping your levels low. Like under 120. If you go over constantly and don't make enough insulin you put your baby at risk of being born with health problems and also weighing a lot at birth.
