I called my Dr’s office today to reschedule an appointment and to ask him a question about increasing my Metformin doses (see my thread on that). So when we got to discussing my BGL’s the assistant told me that I was doing it wrong, that my testing should be right at the beginning of a meal, not two hours after.
I can see to get a good baseline at the beginning of the meal, but it makes no sense to me why not to test two hours after. This just seems flat out wrong.
I can’t test myself that often especially since I eat smaller, more frequent meals. I would be testing myself at least 11 times a day if that was the case. Originally the Dr just wanted me to test fasting and then after a meal, but I increased that to test my carb sensitives in foods to hone in my diet.
