[QUOTE="Bluetit1802, post: 576734, member: 94045"] Testing morning fasting, before meals, or going to bed, is good if you want to keep an eye on your general levels to make sure you aren't creeping up. I like to know that I drop back to normal when not eating. Testing before and after meals is really only to test out that meal to see if you can cope with it, and is vital for people just starting out and for the first few months. Once you have tested a meal several times I see little point in doing the same meal over and over other than occasionally to make sure your portion control isn't creeping up, or to test if new/altered medication is suitable. Just my opinion, and it is probably different if on certain meds like you are. [/QUOTE]
