[QUOTE="Auto E, post: 2121485, member: 513396"] I definitely embrace this approach. I like to test specific meals and test at first bite, then at 30 min, 60 min, 90, 120, even up to 3 hours. I notice that most of you just do 2 hours postprandial. That would sure save me a lot of strips but I like the idea of catching my spike, which is often at about 90 min (not 2 hours). Also, and I know this might be atypical, but I often have TWO peaks - one at 90 min and then it goes about 15 points DOWN and then back up again (but not usually as high) at 2 hours. My unique pancreas fingerprint, apparently. Later this week I've decided to do an every hour test all day - since I don't (yet) have a CGM, it seemed a fun way to graph a whole (typical) day's blood glucose. Has anyone else done that? I eat pretty much the same things every weekday, and have the same exercise and general schedule, so it's a bit of a snapshot. I thought I could average the numbers and get my own daily average. Maybe do this once a month for three months. What experiments are others of you doing these days? [/QUOTE]
