[QUOTE="Guzzler, post: 1646561, member: 408573"] To test your blood glucose levels at home maintain a 'normal' diet and test before your first bite of food then test again two hours after your first bite. Record what you have eaten and both readings. The optimal difference between those two readings is less than 2mmol (for we of T2 the lower the difference the better). You can take a fasting blood glucose reading too which is a reading taken first thing in the morning before any excertion. Remember to wash your hands carefully before taking any reading as this can eliminate contaminants from four fingers which could skew your readings. I use a Codefree glucometer as the strips are one of the cheapest around. Good luck. [/QUOTE]
