When are you measuring? One hour and then two hours after eating? One hour is important.

before each meal (big or small) and 1 and 2 hours after each meal. Sometimes, even 3 hours, when I can.

Your A1C is more predictive therefore than blood glucose measurements. New research is showing that slowly elevating A1C is common for the elderly. And that it is not exactly smart to
aggressively treat at typeII diabetes anymore.

I put those papers up recently on a thread of Glenn's.

Mrs.D, this is quite a relief. But, I will still continue to monitor my sugar at home just to know how I fare with my eating. As you know, I need to gain weight. As you may know, MAC competes with the "calorie consumption". But, with this sugar elevation, its hard to balance maintaining hte a good level of sugar and adding more calories to my diet:confused:

I will have my AIc test tomorrow, lets see the result of the test.

Again, thank you so much for your valuable information. I cannot thank you enough.

That is great. So many people just measure after two hours. The spike needs to be looked at earlier. :)
