Unfortunately a test 30 minutes after eating doesn't really help. The best times to test are immediately before meals and, if you do need to test after a meal, then 2 hours after. At 30 mins after eating your body is still busy converting the carbohydrate in the food into sugar, so a test at that point doesn't really tell you anything.As the sugars are coming down, I would suggest that for a few days you just continue doing what you are doing and check the BG levels before each meal to ensure that the reading are continuing to reduce. If they don't reduce then you need to change what is being eaten by reducing the amount of carbohydrate.</blockquote>
