If you have read the sticky at the top of our forum, this should give you a guide to how we believe how to get the best out of testing.
I would ignore the fasting morning test for the meal ones.
As it is food that affects us !
So for testing, pre meal, then depending on what you you really want out of the test, either one hour, our two hours after first bite.
The first hour is to try and find your spike, or to make sure you don't go to hyper.
The second hour test is to find out if your blood glucose levels have returned to normal levels if you have had a hyper. The benefit of the two hour is if you can tolerate some carbs, but only after a lot of testing is done and finding out will tell you
You can cut some testing out if you are certain the meal you are having is ok for you.
Testing is about seeing trends after a while, to see if you are getting better results.
For this you need to keep a food diary and be as detailed as you can.
This will help when seeing your medical practitioners,
