[QUOTE="Sirmione, post: 998099, member: 190454"] If you are self-funding test strips the SD Codefree has by far the lowest running costs, it is not a fancy meter but is as accurate as any of the many I have tried and can connect to PC for data logging. Foods with simpler carbohydrates (ie sugars) sharply spike almost instantly foods with complex carbohydrates take longer and don't spke so high but keep the blood glucose high much longer. In a healthy no-diabetic after 2 hours the body should have been able to bring a sugar spike down to blood glucose levels within the normal non-diabetic range. As a type 2 I find starchy Carbohydrates are the biggest threat to my good glucose levels and these can effect my test numbers well beyond the 2 hour mark so there is little point in testing before 2 hours after the last bite of a meal. The order food is broken down and enters your blood stream in a form your body can metabalise is pretty fixed sugars, followed by more complex carbohydrates, followed by proteins and eventually fats and oils.
