[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1209040, member: 94045"] Without self testing, or a sensor, you are working blind and if you are making serious errors with your food choices, a few months between HbA1c tests is a long time to have higher than recommended blood sugar levels. Taking one reading half an hour after eating is a complete waste of time I'm afraid. The best testing method is to test immediately before food and then 2 hours after first bite. Keep a food diary including portion sizes and record the levels alongside. If the rise from before to after is too high there are too many carbs in that food. It is best to keep the rise under 2mmol/l and preferably a lot less. (under 1mmol/ at 2 hours would be good) [/QUOTE]
