[QUOTE="Olddogandgrump, post: 2692586, member: 572555"] Like Ushthetaff says it very much depends. For me a low fat meal, high in simple carbs, will produce a higher shorter lived post meal spike. A meal high in fat or complex carbs it's more of a slow burn. And of course, your pre meal levels, how much insulin you took initially and what your activity levels have been all add to the variety. Personally (and this is not advice), I check two hours after the meal. If I'm still rising or high and steady and not looking like I'll not be back in range any time soon I take a correction dose.
