[QUOTE="Sid Bonkers, post: 1419883, member: 19121"] I have never ever tested 1/2 hour or 1 hour after eating as I see that as a total waist of test strips. I have only ever tested before and 2 hours after eating which means 2 hours after you finish your meal, this was the advice given here originally when I joined and the purpose of it is to check that your bg levels have or are returning to there base level after 2 hours, just like a non diabetics bg levels do. Whats the point in checking to see a peak, a peak is something that non diabetics get after eating. The whole point of testing is to check that the amount of carbs you have eaten is only enough that your levels will be returning to there base level at 2 hours, just as a non diabetics do.There is no other reason to test and in IMHO testing at other times is a waist of strips that tells you nothing useful.
