You won't come out of it overnight.There's a lot to learn, and more research  and discoveries being reported everyday.2 seperate readings at 2 totally different times tell you nothing, other than your bg at that exact points in time. You've no idea if you were zooming up or down or nice and steady!Implement the before 1st bite and after 2 hour testing strategy  and you'll soon start to see what certain foods do to you. Once you know certain meals you won't need to test them any more, only new foods or recipes. It's a marathon not a sprint, and you're not even up to the fist bend yet. Just be aware the first few weeks may be the hardest, as your body will act like a toddler whose favourite  toy (sugar) has been taken away. It may shout and scream and kick its heels,  but you have to be the responsible adult and not give it the dangerous toy back. Distract it with plain, full fat yoghurt or a nice cheese or a juicy steak and it will soon forget.</blockquote>
