[QUOTE="musterfox, post: 2158017, member: 516220"] Hello Sapien. Thanks for replying. Of late my pre-meal Insulin before lunch is usually between 85-95. One thing I completely forgot to mention is that I eat only two meals a day since the past 4 months. I skip breakfast completely and strictly follow Intermttent Fasting for 15+ hours (overnight till lunch the next day) with only water allowed during that period. I have only ever tested my Insulin immediately before and 2 hours after a meal (dinner is the only meal when I have the dessert), Usually my 2 hour post meal reading is +/- 5-10 units from my pre-meal value. To clarify - I would say 70% of the time it is +5-10 units ABOVE my pre-meal value and 30% of the time its either right back to where I was pre-meal or sometimes even up to 1-5 units LOWER than my pre-meal value. I have no idea why it works that way but it does. I assume its the food/dessert in question that causes the varied values. I have never tested insulin at say 45 minutes, 1 hour or 1 and a half hours post meal so I honestly dont know how it varies at those times. Do I need to test this? I was under the impression that a 2 hours post meal test was all that was reqd.? Do advise. Kind regards Muster [/QUOTE]
