| Above target range (Hi) | What do you think happened on those days to make your sugars high? Did you take all the diabetes medications ordered by your doctor? If on mealtime insulin: Did you take your meal insulin? Did you take your meal insulin right before you ate? If not, did you take it at the end of the meal or after that? Did you eat more than usual at that meal?
Did you drink any sugary beverages (sweet tea, regular soda, juice)? Are you sick? Are you under a lot of stress? Have you been started on any medication that might make your sugars go up, Do you need refills for your diabetes medicines? Do you need insulin syringes or pen needles? Are you having any difficulty getting your DM medications?

| Below target range (Lo) | What do you think happened to make your sugars low? Did you eat less than usual? (If on meal time insulin) did you eat when you took your meal time insulin? Were you more active than usual? Are you sick? Are you unable to eat? Do you have any difficulty with buying or getting food to eat?

| Not checking | I see that you have not checked your blood sugar in the last 7 days, can you tell me why? Are you out of test strips? Are you using another BG meter now? Is your meter not working properly?
