[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 1420021, member: 94045"] The 90 minute to 2 hour test is the only guideline we have. We don't have guidelines for anything less than 90 minutes. Testing earlier than this can be interesting and may show us if our first insulin response is working OK or not. Testing at 2 hours and later tells us if our second insulin response is doing its job quickly enough because by 2 hours we should be on our way back down from the peak. It also tells us if we have over done the carbs. However, it all depends on the contents of the meal, amount of carbs, fast or slow release carbs, amount of fats and fibre. A fast release carb such as a banana will spike very quickly. [/QUOTE]
