[QUOTE="Jenny15, post: 1795402, member: 196992"] Good to hear! I think the reason for the focus on fasting BG is that it's the one time of day when we can usually be expected to be on a level playing field, from person to person ie, we've all gone at least 8 hours without food (give or take). By that amount of time we know one thing: we won't have been affected by the fluctuations that occur within 2 hours of eating. This is helpful for conducting research. A lot of the parameters used in clinical medicine seem to arise from what is needed in research. [/QUOTE]
