When and how to test blood sugar for diabetes?

I bought a Accu-Check meter to test for diabetes. When should I test myself. In the instructions it says after 2 hours after eating. But I have also read 12 hours after you eat. Which is correct? Thanks.

Well this is something you should ask your Dr. but I am guessing that you have not been diagnosed wit diabetes yet and are just wondering what your blood sugar is. So here ya go…Fasting( Am before anything to eat or drink) should be less than 105, Before other meals should be under about 120, and 2 hours after you eat under 140. You don’t need to test that much but if your trying to get an idea then there is the info.

Is it safe for someone whom does not have Diabetes to eat a Diabetic Diet?

My husband has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and High Cholesterol. In supporting his "new" Diabetic diet, I have opted to be on a Diabetic Diet with him. Also, my daughter is 10, and she is very thin, I was having her do this diet as well, but allow her to eat "junk" food on occasion. Is it nutritionally safe for my child to do a No Sugar/Low Fat diet as well?

A Diabetic Diet is actually a healthy diet, but distributed in a way to allow your body to process nutrients more efficiently. Diabetics are not necessarily barred from particular food products, but must integrate them in their dietary schedule. Diabetes educators work to assist individual diabetics to work their favourite foods into a diet for them. Much of this is focused on portions, eating smaller meals over longer periods of time and maintaining glucose counts.
