[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1699950, member: 94045"] I cannot imagine why a pharmacist (or anyone) would want you to test 2 hours before eating!! Test immediately before you eat Test again 2 hours after first bite Look at any rise and keep it as low as you can by reducing carbs or eliminating some. This is called eating to your meter. Carbs spike readings. Fats do not, and in fact they help. Protein may cause a small rise in the absence of glucose from carbs, but is many hours later - maybe even the next day. Just focus on carbs. The worst culprits are bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, breakfast cereals, anything made with flour, and also fruit. Testing is the only way to find your personal danger foods, and the quantities. Without regular and organised testing you are working blind and have no idea what your food choices are doing to you.
