Hi I started testing blood glucose yesterday and I have been given various times over the next few days to test eg before lunch, before dinner. How far before lunch/dinner would that be? Sorry if this is a stupid question.
 
Hi @steveyp I would presume they want you to test a few mins before you start eating
 
And you want to be aiming for a less than 2 mmol/l rise.. the less rise the better. If it rises more than 2 mmol/l then there is probably something in the meal that spikes your blood sugar and will be best avoided in future.
 
How many of us are on metformin t2 and how many percent only diet controlled, any one know
