[QUOTE="aqualung, post: 528841, member: 87220"] I have now been testing at 1 hour and then half hourly intervals until my bg level goes down. I now realise that only testing at 2 hours misses out information and made me think my peaks were not as high as they actually were. My pre lunch level was 5.3, after 1 hour it was 6.3 and at 1 1/2 hours it was 5.7. At 2 hours it will probably be lower (I am not going to test as it has gone down and whilst I know it is important I also have to make my strips last as long as possible) and if I had only tested at 2 hours I would have missed the peak and assumed that the food made my bg rise less than I thought.
