[QUOTE="Evie-D, post: 2108352, member: 505837"] So here’s the thing. As a newly diagnosed T2 in April I got myself a meter and have been testing for various foods 2 and 3 hours after eating. I had something recently which had a small spike at 2 hours and back down to before the meal at 3 hours. I had the same meal a few days later but checked it after 1 hour, then 2 and 3 hrs after. This time at 1 hour My BS had increased by 2.5 to 8, dropping to 6.5 at 2 hrs then back to 5.7 at 3 hrs. The point is that if I hadn’t taken the 1st hour reading I wouldn’t have known about the initial spike and assumed everything ok. Is this right? Should I have been testing from 1 hr after eating instead of 2? Can anyone please clarify for me? Worried in case I’ve been doing it wrong all these weeks! [/QUOTE]
