[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1145179, member: 94045"] In my opinion it is essential to test if you want to learn how to bring your levels down. It is the only way to learn where you may be going wrong with your diet. Test before you eat then again a couple of hours after first bite and look at the rise. Anything more than 2mmol/l (preferably under 1.5mmol/l) and your meal needs tweaking by either reducing the portion sizes of any carbs in that meal, or eliminating them. If you do this and keep a food diary, recording your levels alongside, patterns will emerge and you will soon learn which foods are causing the rise. If you don't test you will never know! [/QUOTE]
