Message: <blockquote data-quote="Lamont D" data-source="post: 2469846" data-attributes="member: 85785">Testing should be centered around meals.A pre meal test followed by a two hours after first bite test.The reasoning behind this, is to assess how your hormonal response which includes an initial insulin response has the capacity to cope with the glucose derived from the carbs in the meal, because of the imbalance of your insulin, this creates the high spike.This is the trigger for the excess overshoot that is the main reason why you go hypo.The two hours test needs to be within 2mmols of your pre meal reading, if it is that is good, if it's over, then there is some food in that meal that is bad for you. Maintaining high glucose levels in or around diabetic levels will lead to T2 diabetes and RH.A food diary should be used in conjunction with the glucometer.Take care, stay safe.</blockquote>
