[QUOTE="catherinecherub, post: 202353"] Hi FM, Your levels 2hrs. after a meal should be close to the reading before a meal. Example= Before 5.8, after 2hrs 5.8 - 6.3. You will then know that the meal you have eaten only has a limited effect on your blood sugar. Even if your levels are not perfect before you will know that the reading after is a step in the right direction. It is complicated in as much as there may have been something that you ate will spike after 3 - 4hrs. It is essential to keep a food diary. There are NICE guidlines in the advice for newbies. If you can get them lower than the guidelines suggest for after a meal it is better but that will take time and more testing.
