If you have a family history of diabetes which is of type 1 then u should check sugar once a year or even 6 months. But type 2 diabetes is quite a different case. There are also other tests to differentiate your likelihood of getting diabetes which can be selectively done based on the relative risk you face of developing diabetes.
