    I am trained here in Canada to count "after meal" as two hours after a meal.

    @jgnatca It is because they were looking at a chart on the caloriesproper.com article, made an assumption based on the chart (the assumption has nothing to do with the contents of the chart), then applied the assumption to a much broader question. And... they had no other relevant knowledge to tell them that their conclusion didn't make sense.

    Two hours post-meal is enough time for a postprandial spike to have come and gone in non-diabetics. This is why it is usually used for post-meal BG tests. It just seems like the chart could have easily clarified this for users who don't know.

    I imagine diabetic newbies could give themselves quite a scare testing right after a meal....
