I have a stupid GD question.

I only test 4 times a day-- fasting and then after each meal.  So when I have snacks I don't actually know how they are affecting my blood sugar.  I usually assume that it's fine, but if I ate something that I was a little iffy about for a snack could I test 1 hour later and get the same type of result as I do for my meals?  Can I use the lower than 140 for 1 hour after to know if it's an ok snack? 

 

ETA: I just tested 1 hour after my snack and my blood sugar was 109.  So that snack should be fine, right?

I was thinkging the same thing...and the first thing i check is my suga levels when im not feeling right. I think if ur suga stays under 120 its fine at anytime. But im not 100% sure

If you want to test a food at a meal or snack, I'd test first - before eating - then after like you would usually (some do 1h post, some do 2h.) If your beginning # was normal and so was your after, you're good to go! It is a great way to "test" a food!
