[QUOTE="Evie-D, post: 2109136, member: 505837"] I was in this instance testing the effect of a food I was trying to re-introduce to my diet. I don’t normally test at 1 hr and that’s what confused me. This is the only time I test other than on waking in the morning. As far as I now understand it, I should not need to test at 1 hour as the real effect is at 2 and 3 hours and this should be enough to show if any food adversely affects my bg levels. I’m trying hard not to be too obsessive and so far it seems to be working. I just wasn’t sure if I should be testing at 1 hr because of the difference it made, but on balance I think I’ll carry on at 2 and 3 hrs only. My original hba1c diagnosis was 96 but now I seem to be around 5.5mmol which I believe is nearly normal. I get my first 3 month hba1c test tomorrow so hopefully it will confirm this. [/QUOTE]
