And that is a very admirable aim, and in my opinion, a good one. You are insulin resistant, so cannot expect your insulin to clear all the excess glucose that is in your blood stream quickly after eating carbs. The insulin resistance prevents this. The best idea is to reduce the amount of glucose so there is less to clear, and this can be achieved by reducing the carbs.
Also, depending on the combination of carbs and fats in the meal, the peak may well be anywhere between about an hour and 3 or more hours before it starts to come down significantly. Testing just at 2 hours only gives you a figure, it doesn't give you your peak.[/QUOTE I have given up testing on waking up in the morning now as my nurse said they do not bother with a fast test anymore and that so many things can contribute to difference readings when waking. Nightmare a dream and not sleeping very well etc can all affect the result. I test during the day once as I do not always eat during the day. Before I eat my evening meal then 2 hours after then maybe again a couple of hours later just to see how I am going. So far so good. Hope I am doing it right lol
