Glycemia

People who only use the glucometer when do you soly do control?When do you start noticing the symptoms ... or do you wait for the 2 hours to pass?

Good, pre -established control is before meals and 2h later.

If you notice symptoms, too.

hello.Normally the glucose you take it on an empty stomach (8-12 hours).For example if you have 10pm dinners, at 8am you already have 10 hours of fasting, there you can take glucose.

After food, at 2 hours you should also measure glucose.

I don't know if you are looking for values ​​for type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

In type 2:

fasting glucose, it must be less than 110mg
2 hrs post food, less than 140mg

There are also other values ​​that you can review in medical studies:
cholesterol, less than 200mg
Triglycerids: less than 150mg
Blood pressure: less than 130/85 mm
Glycosylated hemoglobin (3 previous months) less than 6.5%

These values ​​were extracted from the ISSSTE diabetic control manual in Mexico, and they agree perfect with the values ​​that my doctor and those that are read in all the literatures that I have consulted of reference, with solid medical argument.
