hello again,
being a relative newbie, i have been trawling through some of the existing threads and have come to the conclusion that i am quite naieve about the use of my monitor.
my specialist doctor told me to vary when i test myself and always do it before food.
the booklet he gave me spreads it out quite nicely and includes readings for 2 hours after food as well as before each meal time, before bed and during the night.
he scribbled them all out other than the before meals ones and told me to only test at these times and to ignore the other times.
from what i have read i should be testing afterwards too in order to see what foods have what reactions?
i am suprised by this as it seems i am being misinformed unless he is only concerned with my numbers reducing at the moment???
should i do as he says or test aftward too?
and i just realised i havn't taken my meds........ grrrrrrrrr.....bye
