Hi When I test my sugar levels with my meter I know to test before a meal and then and hour later and then 2 hours later... etc How long should it take for levels to come back down after spiking with food? what is normal for people without diabetes?
 
This is from the popular 'Jennifer's Advice' (linked in the Useful Links thread in the newbies section. They are suggested as non-diabetic numbers (though these themselves will vary of course):
Fasting Under 6
One hour after meals Under 8
Two hours after meals Under 6.5
