I have been testing mine for a while now on doctors orders. You should test your glucose levels approximately 2 hours after eating as the glucose level is at its peak around that time. All of my testing show this process to be very accurate as I tried 1 hour after and 3 hours after and its not as high.

Simple carbohydrates will peak serum blood sugar in 10-30 minutes and then fall quickly. Complex carbohydrates, especially when paired with protein, rise more slowly, peaking at 1-2 hours.
