[QUOTE="ConradJ, post: 417668, member: 66676"] Hi there, Testing before meals is a must: you can then calculate your insulin requirements more accurately. I usually test 2 hours after the meal and then an hour later on some days so that I can see how my Insulin to carb ratio is working with different food-stuffs and/or quantities (or if I've been doing something out of the ordinary that may affect my BG levels). It's worth asking your DSN (Diabetes Specialist Nurse) as she may want / need you to undertake a particular pattern to gauge how your treatment is working for you... Best wishes, Conrad [/QUOTE]
