I don't know how long you have been testing. The thing about testing is that it lets you understand how your body reacts to what you've eaten. It is not going to be the same every time you eat a certain combination of foods, there are other factors in play.Your example, where you've tested considerably after 2 hours is a good one to show what can happen. Pasta will more often than not for T2 cause a spike. This one appears to be delayed against the 2 hour standard. I think the 2 hours standard is only a useful one off measurement when the tester is a bit more experienced in their own results. When I first started testing it would be every 30 minutes for 2 hours and then 3 and 4 hour tests, if I was still awake. After about 1 year of eating and testing I did drop the tests and went for the 2 hour test for meals I was pretty certain I knew what the response was going to be. If I ate anything unusual I would do more testing just to see and record.</blockquote>
