[QUOTE="adm, post: 132493, member: 26425"] Thanks! This is proving interesting..... I started off this morning at 9.0, had what I'd consider to be a healthy breakfast - a big bowl of Nuts, Fruits & Seeds muesli and a pot of tea. Two hours later, my BG was 15.0! Before lunch, it was down to 8.2. I had a big cheese and ham omelette. 2 hours later, it was down to 6.5! So, when testing to work out how tolerant I am to certain foods, I presume it makes sense to test the same food a few times, just to make sure that the results aren't skewed by any other factors... so I'll try the muesli again tomorrow morning, but I was shocked at how high it made the BG number go. One question - with T2, is it safe to say that we aren't really all that concerned about short term "spikes" in BG level - more the longer term effect, and that's why we wait 2 hours after eating to test?
