Checking at 2 hours post-meal is a standard recommendation because by this time, blood sugar should begin returning to baseline levels.
For general glucose control If you're looking to see how well your body handles glucose over time, the 2-hour mark is more commonly used as it reflects how well your blood sugar is returning to normal.
