[QUOTE="JohnEGreen, post: 2479082, member: 223921"] The day I was diagnosed several years ago now I bought a meter and have tested every day since. But some people tested until they had managed to work out what foods they could eat and those they best avoid. I would advise get a meter and test every day till you know what foods are good for you and what are not For most the idea is to test before eating then say 2 hours after first bite you are aiming for a rise of not more than 2 mmol/l and hopfully to drop back to the level before eating in about 2 hours I personlly test at 1 hour to see the peak and then at 2 hours some times even 3 hours. If a particular food gives you a big rise in BG that does not drop to normalish level within the two hours then avoid that food in future. [/QUOTE]
