So if I started at say 4.5 and had a reading at +2 hrs of 7.5,  that's too many carbs for me.In addition the second reading should be lower than 7.8 - 8 is close enough for all practical purposes given inaccuracy in the meter - it's not either/or.As said above, you are not looking for the highest point, which will probably occur around 45 minutes after eating.</blockquote>
