It Depends on your insulin but 2 hours is the usual guidelineHi All
Just got out of hospital after suffering keto acidosis and have now been moved off Metformin onto insulin injections.
When measuring my sugar level after eating how long after eating should the test be taken?
Cheers
Thanks all
Can anyone recommend where to find free very low carb diet plans?
I try to test 1 hour after and 2 hours after. I made myself an insulin chart in a word document. From left to right it reads Date - Time - Food - Carbs - Medication - Pre Meal BG - + 1 Hour - + 2 Hours. I enter the values each day and I include the direction my BG are moving according to the information displayed on my Libre 2 meter.
Of late I have been trying my hardest to get the amount of carbs in each meal as close to correct as I can (weighing foods etc), so as to be able to adjust my insulin accordingly. It is not perfect by any means, but it does give me reference points and I can look back at past events for help, especially when I've been prescribed medication that significantly spikes my BG.
Hope you’re feeling betterHi All

I keep on a my daughter to teach me how to use Excel. One day.If you use Excel instead of Word a whole world of automatic calculations & colouring opens up.
or if they have hypo symptoms ... in which case testing should not be delayedThe only reason for testing earlier is to understand if the dose was taken at the right time.
I'm confused. Have your diabetic team given you no advice about when to test? Struggling to think how you could move someone to insulin without giving such essential advice....Hi All
