Hello,
As per your history, for blood sugar monitoring do regular fasting and postprandial HbA1c after physician consultation.
In case of high blood sugar, you may require daily monitoring to adjust the dose.
Along with that watch for symptoms like shaking, sweating, rapid heart beats
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
