Hello StoneGirl you should test just before you eat and then two hours after you eat.
GET A LOG BOOK! write down the before, after and what you ate. After a few weeks you will be able to look back and compare notes, it ill be really helpful for you to decide what to eat.
The check before will give you a base line to see how many points you jump based on what you eat. If you are running high eat less carbs, try to get your numbers down and some of the problems MAY lessen.
I was given a book called "Calorie King", this little book has so much info on carbs it isn't funny. It even includes tons of fast food joints (but I don't go to any
Find a food or two that you can eat a lot of that has very low carbs, I like peas.
Good luck
