[QUOTE="Brunneria, post: 2121544, member: 41816"] My attempts to test hourly through the night failed miserably - i either slept through the alarms, or swatted the alarm across the room and just went back to sleep without testing, :D I’m a double peaker too. It is very common. And my peaks are often after the 2 hours, nearer 3 usually. If you look up 1st and 2nd phase insulin responses they may shed some light. Later, when I got a Libre, I learned a tremendous amount - nightly patterns, morning bg rises, individual reactions to different foods and different portion sizes. I definitely think that regular testing is an incredibly valuable tool for a T2. Since your profile describes you as Pre-Diabetic, I would suggest that you don’t go too overboard on the testing though. It is the trends that matter, rather than the precise numbers. Nowadays, i test rarely and most of my experiments are either longish term dietary tweaks or one off food tests (last week it was a Hotel Chocolat 70% hot chocolate ;) while wearing one of my occasional Libres).
