Most every source I've run into here and in the professional litterature recommends testing two hours after meals. At least all those, I feel are competant and know what they are talking about. But I have two simple questions about 2 hour testing? I'll outline the question and then what I've come take as the answer, subject to your correction, please.

First the recommendation is specific "two hours" and sometimes even "exactly two hours" after meals. Well, a meal doesn't happen in an instant, a short meal or snack takes 10 to 15 minutes, an ordinary meal a half hour and a formal meal two hours or longer. So the question is two hours after What, or maybe after When.

Here's a timeline for an ordinary meal:
Time Action Comment
0 Test - Time and result written down
3 Inject insulin - insulin 'clock' started
15 First bite - food 'clock' started
30 Middle of meal
45 Last bite

So 2 hours afer the meal is exactly when?

You could find a reason why any of these times are the right one to starting from. I've choosen to time from the first bite, since it's from there that my blood glucose starts rising, but is this right?
