John, your numbers look great, like a "normal" person's (when you eat this way)! To spare your fingertips, you only need to test this often if you eat something suspect or extra protein, to see how you react. It varies from person to person, but protein from dairy & legumes can be highly insulinogenic. Even Induction-level "legal" amounts of dairy, especially yogurt, ricotta, sour cream or cream cheese that show "milk solids" (= extra dairy protein) in the ingredients can spike my BG as if I ate 1-2 tsp of sugar. And it also makes me hungry again in ~2hrs when my BG dives (whereas the same amount of calories, fat, carbs & protein in a meat & vegs dinner would keep me hunger-free for >14 hrs). Knowing the numbers and how certain foods make me feel makes it easier to avoid or minimize such foods in the long run.
