My first self test was 5 minutes before dinner this evening, result 5.5, this was 6 hours from lunch. My second test was 2 hours after starting dinner, result was 6.7. Meal was 380 calories, carbs 27g, fat 15g, protein 31g. This seems to me to say this meal was fine, total carbs for today was 115 g. Guidance very welcome please
 
Those results look OK to me for someone just starting testing.

Much really depends on the contents of the meal and whether the carbs were fast acting or slower acting. The 2 hour time is just a guideline and is unlikely to be the peak of the rise. The peak is likely to have been earlier than 2 hours, or in some cases it could be later. The 5.5 was quite good - well done.
 
Hi @Numan , I agree those figures look good. Well done on the start to testing.
