What those devices are useful for more?

 

Typ 2 diabetes is gradually developing. Most meassure only fasting glucose in the doctors office, while unchecked postprandial glucose might already clearly indicate one will be diagnosed T2D 10 years later. With a glucose meter one can check how much different foods will increase postprandial glucose, and if indeed high avoid those particular foods, and the diagnosis a decade later.

What is the best interval for postprandial response testing?

 

With postprandial testing one tries to catch the highest glucose spike. Which can be individual, and also depending on diet. Usually its 1 hr after a meal. But to find one's own spot best to test every quater hour, first from 1/2 upto 2 hrs.
