Italian term

test a scacchiera

Italian to English Medical Medical (general)
Sto traducendo la cartella clinica di una donna affetta da diabete gestazionale. Si prescrivono una serie di controlli glicemici domiciliari di cui l'ultima serie "a scacchiera".
TO: si prescrive autocontrollo glicemico domiciliare con cadenza di 1 test a digiuno almeno per i primi 15 giorni, successivamente 1 test/die "a scacchiera".
Qualcuno ha idea di come rendere questo termine?

staggered testing regimen

Fiona's is fine but if you want something closer you could try this:

[...] For example, patients may use a 7-point SMBG regimen, testing before and after each meal and at bedtime, over the course of 3 to 7 days. Or, patients may use a “staggered” regimen , testing before and after alternating meals (e.g., pre- and post-breakfast on Monday, pre- and post-lunch on Tuesday, etc.), over a 2- to 3-week period.37,72 By staggering SMBG measurements at different times on different days, patients can generate an accurate portrait of day-to-day glycemic excursions while avoiding the need to test many times in a single day.37

For patients on premixed insulins, the minimum should be a fasting measurement plus one postmeal measure each day (using a staggered pattern by testing after different meals on different days).

neutral philgoddard : I don't think this works on its own - in both your references, it's followed by an explanation.

It's a medical record, not a prescription for the patient. "A scacchiera" on its own is equally obscure to the nonspecialist reader

one test per day at different mealtimes

Not sure if there's a specific term, but you could simply go with "subsequently one test per day, at different mealtimes"
and if you wanted to specify, you could follow that up with "(for example after breakfast on day one, lunch on day two, dinner on day three)"
"Di solito si suggerisce di eseguire l’autocontrollo glicemico prima e dopo ogni pasto e prima di coricarsi la sera; in totale, quindi, si tratta di sette controlli quotidiani.
È molto importante, però, rispettare sempre gli stessi intervalli di tempo.
Non sempre è necessario controllare l’intero profilo glicemico, in particolare quando i valori glicemici sono equilibrati; lo si può fare con uno schema a “scacchiera”: ad esempio il primo giorno si calcolano i valori (prima e dopo) a colazione; il secondo giorno a pranzo e il terzo a cena, oppure il primo giorno a colazione e pranzo e cena, il secondo a colazione e cena e il terzo a pranzo e cena."
