2 hours: If you are measuring to see if your diabetic blood sugars are under control you are looking at two hours after eating. The goal is to be less than 140 but lower is better in general. These numbers should be correlated with your hemoglobin a1c.

None, really, but-: Keep all carb intake, specifically starch and sugar under 50-60g/day. This does not include non-digestible fiber (both soluble and insoluble), which are counted with total carbs on labels, but also listed separately!
