Take your baseline or T0
So take a baseline measurement – this is your time zero. In my chart below that’s the green line.
You don’t need a lot of blood for new style meters, as you can see I
have my lancet set to only a depth of 5 so I almost don’t feel the strike
anymore. I also use the pad of my fingers. That is a lot less painful in
my experience than the side of the finger.
You just need to insert a fresh test strip, and when your meter tells
you it is ready for blood you just press your drop of blood to the
capillary uptake of the test strip.
That will give you the starting glucose value. We’re going to eat our
test food and then see how long it takes for our blood glucose to get
close to that starting value again.
Eat your test food
This is the good bit.
Now we need to set a timer for 30 mins. I’m going to use my Microsoft Band.
When the alarm goes off take a 2nd measurement – this will be your T30.
