[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 637933, member: 94045"] Hi Mo, If you are testing out to see what a particular meal does to you, test immediately before you eat, then at 2 hours after your first bite. You can also try testing at 1 hour after your first bite as well as 2 hours. Sometimes you will catch your biggest spike doing this. There are no guidelines for what it should be at 1 hour because everyone spikes about then depending on what they have eaten. Sometimes your biggest spike may be at 2.5 hours or even at 3 hours, again depending on what you have eaten. Nothing is set in stone, but the only guidelines we have are for 2 hours. (and that reading may be on its way down or may still be on its way up!) [/QUOTE]
