I am supposed to check 2 hrs after, but I know that some do 1 hr. The numbers differ depending on your time. I try to get it as close to the exact time, but it is usually give or take a few minutes.
1 hour. Sometimes I am not one hour on the dot, but I know the rules:
Need to be under 140 at 1 hour and under 120 at 2 hours so as long as I am under one of those or close enough, my doc is not concerned. I just mark it if I test at the wrong time.
EDIT: I test at 1 hour 90% of the time, but I am not going to whip my meter out on the highway or while I am at a client dinner.

No formatter is installed for the format bbhtml
I was told 2 hours after my 1st bite of each meal.

Re: GD - what time frame do you test after you eat?
This.
1 hour after my last bite after breakfast, lunch, dinner.
numbers should be under 125
fasting #'s should be under 90
good luck
1 hour after my last bite, I try to do it within 5 minutes of this.

I test at 1 hour after my first bite. I'm supposed to be under 7.8 (140.4) at the 1 hour mark or under 6.8 (122.4) at the 2 hour mark.
Like others have said I test at the one hour mark most of the time but if I'm out for dinner or in transit I wait until the 2 hour mark.
