[QUOTE="Antje77, post: 2025506, member: 372207"] The 2 hours is very useful to see if your insulin dose for your meal was correct, so you can change your dose or your food next time. I think the 4 hours is because mealtime insulin lasts for about 4 hours, so if you're still high after that time you know there's no more mealtime insulin going around to reckon with if you want to correct. I think the 2 hours test is way more useful. And don't forget to test before and during driving and physical activity as well! Th driving for safety reasons, the activity because that might have a big impact on your numbers. Good luck! [/QUOTE]
