Does that take account of testing when driving?
Read the recommendations for details, but no. 4 is the minimum and they suggest up to 10, but also allow that there may be good reasons for testing more than that. The DAFNE-like course I went on was consistent with between 4 and 10 tests a day. So 4 or 5 minimum, on waking, before each meal, before sleep, and sometimes measure between meals as well. And, as you note, test as needed for driving (and for safety at other times, like swimming or other kinds of exercise).
