[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1595817, member: 94045"] When you peak depends on a few factors, one of which is the content of the meal you have eaten. The type of carbs, the amount of fat, will both have a role to play. Another maybe how well your pancreas is working as regards the first phase insulin response. Another maybe insulin resistance. Or all three. Peaks can happen at any time from 30 minutes to 3 hours or even longer. The general guidance is to test 2 hours after first bite. If you want to be more precise, you can also test earlier and later than 2 hours, but you would end up with very sore fingers if you do this for every meal! The idea is to keep the post meal levels as low as you can for as long as you can. [/QUOTE]
