[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1215618, member: 94045"] Don't forget to keep a food diary including portion sizes and record your levels alongside. This way you can see patterns emerging. Next time you have the same meal, reduce the carb portion size and see if it is better. Keep doing this until it is where you want it to be, and bingo, you know what portion size you can eat. It may be that portion size is zero of course! Once you get going and begin to understand what is happening, you can if you wish test at an hour and at 90 minutes to try to catch your peak. If you find your 2 hour reading is a bit high, test again half hourly until you are happy. It is all trial and error, and the most annoying thing is you can have 2 identical meals in every sense and get totally different readings. Diabetes is a mystery. :) [/QUOTE]
