[QUOTE="Rachox, post: 2018961, member: 400972"] Hi Nasula I don’t know how long ago you were diagnosed but fasting numbers are the last ones to settle down, so if you want to keep your strip usage to a minimum and test how food is affecting you, can I suggest you test immediately before a meal and then two hours afterwards, you are looking for a rise of no more than 2 mmols/l. Once you have tested a certain meal a few times and the rise is acceptable you can regard that meal as safe for you. Leave testing fasting numbers til your numbers in general are more settled.
