I would
I personally would not look for peaks I only want to know what my BS is before and 2 hours after a meal and that is usually under 7 so I am happy with that. These are the guidelines
2 hours after meals
(post prandial)
Non-diabetic 4.0 to 5.9 mmol/Lunder 7.8 mmol/L
Type 2 diabetes4 to 7 mmol/Lunder 8.5 mmol/L
Type 1 diabetes 4 to 7 mmol/Lunder 9 mmol/L
Children w/ type 1 diabetes4 to 8 mmol/L
These guidelines have not been chosen because they are the optimum levels for health.
They have been chosen for a complex system of reasons incorporating the cost of treatment, compromise, burden on healthcare and orthodox medical thinking.
I really do suggest you read Jenny Ruhl's book.
