That must be on the top ten of good questions asked in here!!! I've more or less given up testing pre and post meals because I'm never sure, as I eat so little.
 
Yes that is a good question. I view anytime I eat as a meal. This stops me from snacking!

No need to be confused. The following web page explains how a type 2 diabetic can use their meter to lower their blood glucose levels:

The main reason type 2 diabetics are told not to test themselves is to save money, since if they were told to do so the NHS would have to pay for the strips.
