To capture the peak level of your blood glucose, it is best to test one to two hours after you start eating
During digestion, foods that contain carbohydrates are converted into glucose. Most of this glucose is sent into your bloodstream, causing a rise in blood glucose levels, which signals your pancreas to produce insulin. The insulin signals cells throughout your body to take in glucose from your bloodstream.
In a healthy person, insulin starts working, and the blood sugar level returns to the pre-meal level 2 hours after eating
It's important to keep your blood sugar levels in your target range as much as possible to help prevent or delay long-term, serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease. Staying in your target range can also help improve your energy and mood.
