When to drink after meals?

I've been told to not drink until 1 hour after my meals. So when does the timer start, when I take the first bite (like I do when I have to check my glucose) or after the last bite?

It didn't matter last night or after lunch today as I totally forgot what time it was, but this is just something that has me wondering.

My Doctor said 30 to 45 minutes. I look at the clock after I take my last bite.

Thanks Mary! I don't think they ever said if was from the time you started or after the last bite.

my doc said that you should stop drinking 30 min before you eat, dont drink while eating (20 min), and not for 30 min after you eat.
