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..!!
