I usually wait two hours after the first bite to let my meter determine if dessert is a good idea or not. Depending on what I ate, I will exercise for 30-45 mins. too. This is usually before my 2 hour post meal test. If I'm below a set number, I'll indulge in sf gelatin or sf/ff pudding. I will wig out if my 2 hour #'s are over 140. I really kick myself a lot since dx'd June of '08. I'm still learning though!
