fellow diabetics .....testing

[strollingbones]

i use a bayer contour.....when i introduce a new food.....i test 45 minutes after eating for the peak results.....
this is suppose to give me the peak results....how do you test new foods or do you?

i should be clearer....do you wait for 2 hours or try to find your peak.....

what do you mean by a new food?...something you have never ate before?....

 

[strollingbones]

well at first i tested everything but yea.....i have fallen in love with pluots
and they are high sugar but low gy. index

 

[strollingbones]

okay before i ate...88 after one small pluot...104....after 45 minutes which is my peak or when the bg is highest after the food...

I test before meals

 

[strollingbones]

do you test after meals?

 

[daws101]

do you test after meals?

I did but since I've got it fairly under control it's not necessary.
you did know you BS will rise after meals

 

[strollingbones]

or you are just cheating and dont want to see the results....o wait that is me....

i am just falling into bad habits...the more i test the better i do

I used to test 3-4 time a day , it's not only expensive but unnecessary.
fyi stress will raise your bs faster and longer than food.

no shit....when i am stressed it goes up ....rockets....and if i am slightly sick i can tell with a slight rise in fbg
