[QUOTE="lovinglife, post: 2621067, member: 22428"] I’ve always tested before first bite and 2 hrs after first bite, this is what I was officially told by the diabetes team in hospital. if I’m testing a very new meal I sometimes test at 1 hour as well but that’s for my own personal information. Others test after they are finished eating and 2 hours later. If it’s a long meal then I would personally test at first bite then 2 hours later. You are looking for a rise of no more than 2 less is better. As long as you are consistent in your testing times and are using the info to influence what you can eat then do what’s best for you, personally I would stick to the start of a meal and 2 hrs after.
