Here is the recording of our session on monitoring blood sugars and hypoglycemia.
Some resources/links that you might find helpful:

- An update from the live session – the proper answer to the question around when the 2 hr post-meal BG testing should be is that this is 2 hrs from the first bite of your meal. Though I would say for most people it is more aiming for rough timing.
