Quick question
For testing levels I heard varying information. I heard the proper process is to test 2hrs from your first bite. I also heard its 2hrs from your last bite. Idk which one to follow. I just started diet control and my dinner numbers have been high the past 2 days and I'm wondering if I'm testing at the wrong times. Can anyone help with some insight?

When I got tested at the lab it was exactly each hour after my last sip. So I assumed it was two hours after last bite. That's what I've been doing and my numbers have been okay! Hope that helps.

My dietician was very clear that it's one hour after your first bite. She said your blood sugar spikes within an hour to hour and a half of eating. If testing at an hour BS should be below 130 and if you test at two hours BS should be below 120.

I just do test two hours after I eat.. I just look at the time I sit down to eat.. Then check it. I know if you check 30minutes to an hour after you eat it will be higher than what it would be 2 hours after.
