[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1553060, member: 408573"] Hi there. While I agree that testing is a good idea the FBG (Fasting Blood Glucose) test is becoming less commom as this can catch the action of possible dawn phenomena (the body's own release of of stored glucose to prepare the body for expected energy use). By all means get a meter and start testing but test before the first bite of food then two hours after the first bite. Do this for each meal for a few days then this will give you a better idea of what is going on. Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
