To know if you are controlling your glucose levels effectively, consider the following tips from the knowledge base:

- Use a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM): A CGM provides a continuous graph of your blood sugar levels, helping you track trends and make necessary adjustments. It stays under your skin for several days and records your blood sugar numbers, so you don’t have to write them down.

- Try Apps to Help Manage Your Numbers: Apps can help you track your blood glucose trends, carbohydrate intake, insulin doses, and other health goals. This data can help you and your healthcare team optimize your diabetes management.

- Frequent Monitoring: More frequent monitoring, especially during activities like exercising or if you have to skip a meal, can help you catch low blood sugar levels before they become problematic.

By using these tools and strategies, you can better manage and control your glucose levels.
