One Hour after- meal test

I thought the 1 hour test gives you the reading at the peak of the bg. Why was mine lower than the bg reading after two hours?

Not necessarily. Depends on what you ate. High fat content can delay a spike; some foods can have a double spike - when wearing a Libre I’ve also discovered foods that make me rise, drop back down and then rise up again.

It would depend on what you ate. What did you have for lunch?

I recall raising a thread on this topic. The question asked how can we be sure we captured the peak of the spike. It looks like it is being answered in this thread.

Hence at the time, several months back, I expressed more interest in the Libre, which would capture the complete spike (peak).

The accuracy of our meters (plus or minus %15) makes a difference of 0.4 between two readings insignificant. If you test the same drop of blood with two strips you will more than likely get two different readings.
If you look at the table in the link above you can see that a reading of 5 could in reality be as low as 4.1 or as high as 5.8 and your last reading of 7 anything from 5.9 to 8.2.
So from your results I would say that your lovely low carb meal had a minimal effect on your blood sugar levels
