[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1605132, member: 94045"] I made myself a chart on Excel. I tested my fasting BG immediately before drinking the liquid. I then tested every 15 minutes after finishing the drink for 3 hours, recording the level on the chart in the appropriate Excel column, then drew a graph after I'd finished. I don't think just the one test at 2 hours is sufficient, you will already have passed your peak by then, and you need to know at what stage you are back to where you started, so in my case it was 2 hours 45 minutes. I would have continued after that had I not reached base. I had to use my fingers in strict rotation. Remember, this is not to diagnose diabetes, it is to examine your insulin response times, which is why the 2 hour test isn't relevant. The OGTT is different from a meal because it contains pure glucose and absolutely nothing else - no protein, no fat. It is quick release with nothing to hinder it or delay a spike. You should really have 150g carbs a day for the 3 days prior. I didn't do this personally. I wish I had. Next time I will. You also have to sit quietly during the whole test with no food or drink, of course. I found the sitting quietly very easy .. I just came on the forum for the duration! [/QUOTE]
