[QUOTE="Sapien, post: 2130372, member: 507939"] I didn’t test at 2 hours today. I generally don’t drop back to pre-meal fasting at 2 hours. That usually takes about 3 hours. I try stay in the 5’s, including maybe a peak just over 6 at breakfast. Lunch almost alway peaks lower than breakfast. Frequently I am back in the 4s before dinner. After dinner I am usually in the low to mid 5s. In the morning I wake up usually in the 4s, but only a few times below 4.4. I’ve only dropped below 4 after eating carbs and then exercising. For me it is any reading over 6.1 after eating that concerns me. Then I test to see how long it takes to come down. If it is 6 or below I have stopped testing again. (I would if I tried pizza or pasta again. Fat and carbs. Those seem to peak later.) I pay attention to the fasting number mainly because it would seem to reflect the level of homeostasis that my body (liver / pancreas) is used to. I wish I could bring that down well into the 4s. I don’t want to experiment too much with eating more carbs until/unless my body gets used to a lower baseline glucose level. [/QUOTE]
