No, some of my spikes are at 15 minutes, depending on the type of food and
composition of the whole meal. A delayed spike (2 hours) may mean you have a
lot of fat with your carbs or perhaps some gastroparesis. What drugs/insulin
do you take, if any? Traditionally, doctors have advised to test at 2 hours
to see if your bg's are back within normal range. If you are spiking at 2
hours then you are not back in range and you may need to finetune your meals
more. I have found that any spiking is well and truly over by the one hour
mark for me.
