Hi all,
I'm very new to this and not quite sure how to go about my morning testing routine.
I've read that I should test first thing as soon as I get up in the morning,
I've also read that I should test before eating and 1&2 hours after meals.
Breakfast for me is usually 30mins to an hour after I get up because of the kids routines so my tests could be up to an hour before breakfast and 2 hours after eating which would could make my tests up to 3 hours apart, is this ok or should I test first thing then again before breakfast???
Also, should my 2 hour after meal test be 2 hours after starting or finishing eating or is it not that time critical??? We were 30 mins at the dinner table last night which is why I'm asking.
Thanks,
G
