[QUOTE="GraceK, post: 325662, member: 47233"] It means testing your blood first thing in the morning before breakfast, record the result. Eat your breakfast, test 2 hours afterwards. Your BS will rise after you eat, but should fall to a decent level within 2-3 hours. Keep a note of what you have at each meal, and test 2 hours later. If your BS is not coming down you will KNOW that something you ate is giving you high BS. It's usually SIMPLE CARBS which convert to sugar very quickly - ie bread, cakes, biscuits, rice, pasta, porridge and other flour products. Those of us who've learned what leads us to high sugar spikes are said to be 'eating to our meter'. Hope that helps. :D [/QUOTE]
