I do not have blood sugar problems at all, but my doctor talked to me about eating very low sugar and carbs for the nerves. The right supplements too of course. For my dysautonomia.

I have a meter and it has REALLY helped me learn what foods raise the glucose level. The level doesn't get too high and goes down quickly, but the nerves like to be kept at a level glucose number so the meter is great. Great tool, just like a bp machine.

It is good to test when you wake up. I don't do that much now, but good to know what your usual level is.

Good to test one hour and two hours after eating. Especially if carbs are eaten.

I like one hour because that shows how high it gets and not just how it is two hours later.

After you test for a while, you probably won't have to as often unless you do have blood sugar problems.
