[QUOTE="VashtiB, post: 2248550, member: 511345"] Hi [USER=518059]@Lupf[/USER] , As a previous poster said there are many variables. As someone with a science degree but not a scientist I would suggest trying measurements at 60 mins, 90 mins and 2 hrs. If at 2 hours the readings are still higher measure half an hour later. Try that with a few meals to see where you 'normally' peak. This is likely to be different for different food and activity. As there are so many variables I think 2 hours works as it is likely near the peak of the increase. If it goes up too much- the end result while important is not as important as the message that that meal is not suitable for your body. If it is something you really like maybe see how much exercise you need to do to lower the peak and then you have something that you may be able to tolerate as an occasional treat. I too have experimented with taking more readings on some foods- I like information and I want to remind myself how important it is not to carb creep. Good luck [/QUOTE]
