Lets say I take my Byetta shot and then eat. I take a test 2 hours later. It is a good result and I think “good”. The problem is that I recently have found out that my peak comes at the 4 hour point after a meal and the 4 hour result may be over 140 where as the first 2 hour result was well under 140.
In other words false security and a misleading 2 hour test result.
Have others noticed this and what was your solution?? Thanks
I have noticed this - and I have tried to segregate data, and for me, it is with carb loaded meals like pasta. It seems that since the absorption rate is slowed down, with those types of foods, my peak is at least 3 hours post-prandial. I just have been testing at 3 and 4 hours pp when I can as well, and the only time I have really noticed a wide variance has been with those meals.
