[QUOTE="ianpspurs, post: 2306223, member: 193971"] Hi [USER=347717]@rilakkuma02[/USER] welcome and hug for the worry caused by the diagnosis. In general, members here use a meter to test on waking, just before their first mouthful of food and 2 hours after the first mouthful of food. They are looking for a rise of 2 or less between pre meal and 2 hours. Knowing which foods or meals and at which times of the day spike your bg helps to lower the morning level - provided the food is low carbohydrate. Levels frequently drop quickly so anxiety around the next day's level may well subside fast. Of course, everyone is different and anxiety is hard to manage. I hope this helps but you need to balance the benefit of testing against the anxiety that may cause. [/QUOTE]
