[QUOTE="jopar, post: 200790, member: 11712"] Are you sure that you didn't have any rements of sandwich on you hands or perhaps a bit of soap that you hadn't quite washed off probably? Even non-diabetics can get a hefty spike after eating a meal! The notion why we test at 2 hours is because of this spiking that common to the non-diabetics, the assumption being that if your bg is the same, below or slightly higher than pre-meal then you wouldn't had a high spike! The only explination I can think of as you are T2 that your body was able to adjust to bring your levels back to normal after the spike.. When you eaten at other times the same thing has happened, but because you've take medication you've always assumed that it's the medication doing the work! I think that you will have to repeat a couple of times to see if it was a one off quirk or whether this happens all the time.. As to the meters, I've yet to have two meter's that give the same reading, so always stick to using just one for all readings, and if I get a new one that proves to be reading lower than the older meter, I put the new one back as a spare... Using the one with the higher reading means that when it comes to my HbA1c, generally I will get the truer more reflective HbA1c result.. [/QUOTE]
