[QUOTE="wallycorker, post: 110617, member: 17475"] Ken, In the past I've done loads of testing at 2 hours and 3 hours and longer in some instances and in almost all cases found it going down after one hour or 90 mins. I've got loads of records if there are any meals in particular that you'd be interested in. I fully understand that some meals can spike later than one hour. However, it is my experience that most meals that I eat these days spike around one hour on my tests. In fact, I was in Italy last week and ate a pizza which I tested extensively because I hadn't eaten one in a long time and that spiked later than one hour. I had read and knew that might in fact be the case. Experimentation is what I call it! The results for that were as follows: 4.7 Before eating Pizza Red wine - 350mls approx 6.4 - one hour after finishing eating 9.0 - 90 mins after finishing eating 9.7 - two hours after finishing eating 8.1 - 150 mins after finishing eating 6.3 - three hours after finishing eating The testing cost more than the pizza! Quite horrific in my opinion - off the graph altogether compared with other meals that I usually eat these days. I new what I was doing and was quite relaxed about eating the meal but I shan't be repeating the exercise!!!! Pizzas are now off the list of foods that I eat. I'm quite happy with the testing regime that I've established after testing intensively over the last twelve months or so and I've no plans to make any changes other than carrying out the odd experiments from time to time.
