Hi there

Was diagnosed about 5 weeks ago and the last 3 have had awful flu virus.

Now am back on track and testing everything where possible.

I am fortunate that my DSN prescribed me strips as she could see i wnated to be pro active.

I am not on any meds yet and if poss hope to avoid!

But, my BG readings have been going down this week , I started at on waking BG 15.7 on mOnday to 10.1 today

AM trying to eat a low carb diet as well

I wanted to ask, which reading should I be more interested in after eating...is it the one hour after or the 2 hours after food?

Thanks
 
The one and two hour pp[postprandial] readings give you different information
1 hour is about the highest peak your bg gets to. 2 hour tells you how well you are bringing the level back down.
