More Questions on Numbers

Me again I'm afraid

I have been testing for a few days now & seem to fall in the non-diabetic range but a couple of results have raised questions for me.

First of all I was wondering if a pre-dinner reading of 3.4 is a problem for someone like me ie: pre-diabetic/no meds? I didn't feel awful or anything but the guidelines start at 4 so I was a bit curious.

Another question concerns my 2 hour readings. I've had a couple where my pre-meal was say 4.7, my one hour was 4.8 & my 2 hour was 4.9. Given it is still rising (albeit by a tiny amount) do I need to check it again at say 2 1/2 or 3 hours? Meals are low carb, moderate protein & higher fat. I understand that these are good numbers & well within range I just wonder if they shouldn't drop again 2 hours after eating.

Thanks Guys

Thanks Jack. So as long as it's within range & falling then it doesn't matter if its not back to pre-meal levels is that about right?

Thanks for the replies Lazybones, Carol & catinahat

I am working my way through the older posts gradually & finding answers here & there but there is just so much information!

I have discovered that fat can delay spikes so I'm pretty sure that's whats happening with my post meal numbers. I didn't know about the meter accuracy stuff though so that has put my mind at ease (which is also better for blood sugar I believe )

thanks again
