A member asked:
When measuring glucose 1 hour after a meal, i should count the time from the start of the meal, but what if the meal lasts more than 20 minutes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
From the time: You start, and eat faster. Generally 2hr after meal is more accurate and reproducible. Also a1c may be helpful. Can't use finger stick for diagnosis, only for chronic follow-up as it isn't accurate enough. Check w/your doctor.
