Welcome to Burdwood Surgery
Diabetes Annual Review: for patients injecting insulin
Blood Glucose Monitoring
To optimise your diabetes annual review follow-up, please complete your blood glucose diary in the 1 week prior to your appointment. If you do not already have a pre-printed diary, please ask for one during your initial review.
Please measure and record your blood glucose levels at least 4x a day, pre-meal and pre-bed.
Example diary
| Date 01/04/2023 | Before Breakfast 9.5 | Before lunch 5.2 | Before Dinner 7.8 | Before Bed 12.0 |
| Date 02/04/2023 | Before Breakfast 10.1 | Before lunch 8.0 | Before Dinner 6.0 | Before Bed 4.9 |
If you are unable to do this, please rearrange your follow-up review to ensure it is as effective as possible.
