[QUOTE="Lamont D, post: 992676, member: 85785"] This is how I read it a couple of years ago when first testing and experimenting, trying my favourite foods and how much etc. So, the reason it is first bite, is because of the same response as saliva, as soon as you bite into food your hormones respond with automatic response. I'm not certain anyone can be so precise, but as Indy says, she can take a while eating and no one always clock watches. Brunneria is right it's about trends and finding your spike and return around the two hour mark, to see if you're over the 2mmols limit. But us RH ers it is mainly the spike and trying not to get one! That can be within half an hour or over an hour but not later than that, then it's all downhill unless we eat again. The reason for testing is because we are all different and some of us can cope with certain foods and the only way you know is by testing! You should always keep a food diary and record everything, so you can always look back and compare and see the trends. Hope this clarifies everything! [/QUOTE]
