[QUOTE="LouWilk059, post: 1671119, member: 456935"] I check at 1 hr & 2 hr intervals. I like to keep the spike at less than 1.7 at the 1 hr mark and I use the 2 hr spike to check if it's on it's way down. If it's not trending down, I will check again a 1/2 hr later. So if the meal takes my reading higher than the 1.7 at the 1 hr mark, then I know not to eat it again. I find that if I take my reading only at the 2 hr mark, my numbers have already started coming down. For example, I had roast beef with a small potato, broccoli and butter for Dinner. I started at 4.8, 1 hr reading was 6.8, 2 hr reading was 5.7. If you went with just the 2 hr reading, you would think the meal was fine. I look at the 1 hr reading and see that I need to keep the potato small. Using just the 2 hr reading also wouldn't tell me that my BG is going down. [/QUOTE]
