I'm GUESSING yes because it all gets converted to sugar eventually, but here's the problem:
I just had a 2:45pm lunch with 11U of NovoRapid.
I know for a fact that my insulin's going to last another 3.5-4 hours, with most of its work done in the first 2. This is normally not an issue because my meals are ideally spaced 4 hours apart. However, I had a late lunch and now I'm supposed to go to an early dinner at 5pm at a restaurant. I know they have a fried veggies meal that is strictly cauliflower, broccoli, and chicken in a light sauce and it takes them ~10 minutes to prepare and bring out.
Do you think I could get away with eating that dinner on the last little bit of the mealtime insulin, since I'm going to be eating within the acting period of it? It has probably less than 20g carbs total.
The reason I'm asking all of this is because I don't know if I should take insulin at dinner while the lunch insulin is still wearing off - I was already at a 4.6 before I just ate, and I don't want to get a hypo or something later.
