    I didn't even ask, and assumed it was finish.  When I worked in the hospital and tested blood sugars we always tested from when the patient finished eating, not started so the thought didn't even cross my mind.

    I didn't ask either. I just went with finished eating since that made the most sense.  Plus they do the GTT 1 hour after when you finish drinking the sugar drink.

    My doctor said 2 hrs after the start of eating...

    I rec'd a Gestational Diabetes book from the dietician from the International Diabetes Center & in the book it even says "after the start of the meal.."

    So i would call your doctor to verify which it is since we all have been told differently

    I also was told 1 hr from the time I start eating not from the end.

    I was told after the start, but that makes ZERO sense to me since it frequently takes me 1/2 an hour (or more) to eat.  How is that number even relevant?  So I try to be exactly at the hour marker when I finish.  Why they want to know what my number is 1/2 an hour (or less) after I finish doesn't make any medical sense to me.

    But yeah, if you're worried- ask.  I'm not worried.
