Hello.. In type 2 diabetes target blood sugar levels are fasting 70 to 180 and post Prandial 2 hr 70 to 180 mg/dl...  2 hr post meal is right time to check..!! By most criterias 2 hr OGTT (75 anhydrous glucose challenge) is gold standard recommended than just 2 hr post meal... But for routine monitoring 2hr post meal is fine..!!

Targets need to be individualised for every patient based on various factors. In general fasting 90 to 130 and 2 hr post meal less than 180
