Hi All
How often do you test 2 hours after you've eaten? And what levels are they?
I've only been told to test pre meal and before bed by my DN, I thought I was doing really well with readings between 4.3 and 5.9 for the last week. A colleague who is type 2 gave my a book which said its a good idea to also test 2 hours after eating and that it shouldn't be more than 7, and that its dangerous to be higher at any time long term.
The last 3 days I have had readings anywhere between 7.6 and 14.4 2 hours after I've eaten. This surprised me as the readings are good pre meal and its got me worried.
Do you have a snack at bedtime if your readings are low to stop hypos?
Apologies for all the questions as Im only recently diagnosed>
