And what is known to cause your diabetes.So the best method is to test pre meal and then two hours after first bite. If your reading is more than 2mmols higher than your pre meal reading. That means that something in that meal or portion too big is causing the higher than normal spike.If you record your readings in a food diary, you can learn so much about how your body is affected by certain foods and drinks.</blockquote>
