[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 2248659, member: 94045"] As others have said, it is an individual choice of when to test, but it needs to be consistent and more importantly, it needs to be recorded. I found the best way of recording is on a spread sheet with lots of columns and a space for notes. Whilst testing different foods, I also kept a food diary that contained all the ingredients of that meal and the portion sizes. I was testing before and after eating, fasting, and bedtime. My post meal testing included an hour, sometimes 90 minutes, and 2 hours after first bite, and continued if the 2 hour level had not come down enough for my liking. I am over 6 years down the line now so no longer test out my meals or keep a food diary, but I do test 3 times a day still and record the results on my spread sheet. I just test my morning fasting, before evening meal, and bedtime, and I average each of these monthly to keep an eye on trends. [/QUOTE]
