[QUOTE="BarbaraG, post: 1376519, member: 47277"] Hello, welcome. The meter will be a great tool and there are various ways of using it. Test fasting daily, put Ina spreadsheet and produce the average for the week - watch progress. Test before, 1 and 2 hours after a meal - and if it's not falling by 2 hours, test at 3 hours as well. This shows you how the foods and portion sizes you are eating affect you, and can be a real motivator to change. Bear in mind, though, that blood glucose is fickle and affected by many things. Look for trends rather than an explanation for every little change. You will get highs you can't explain. We have to live with that. [/QUOTE]
