Thumbs up

Not ready to do vinegar.

But I will affirm the whole idea of doing some real good testing profiles after meals once in awhile.

Since I am learning how to use fast acting insulins and timing, etc., I have been testing in one hour increments all the way out to five hours. You get to see some interesting effects. Some food do linger and have delayed BG rises.

So, now sometimes I take a little fast acting insulin right before the meal and I also take a little more one hour later or so.

It helps to smooth out the curve.

When I really want to see a particular food and what it does I have done 1/2 incremental studies. I get some pretty good surprises on some foods, especially pasta, they start out with an increas hour one and increase more by hour two and stay up there by hour three and finally come down hour four and five.

I should document a bit better. I will.

But it is certainly true that the two hour test doesn't catch all adverse BG readings when having too many carbs.

The theory of small numbers prevails.
