Having read some very useful posts about finding out what foods have what effect on your BS, I have decided that I want to start finding out what affects me and what not so much.
However I am confused about when to test and how insulin would affect the result.
I currently take 26 units of mixed insulin 15 minutes before breakfast and 16 units 15 minutes before the evening meal.
Do you take the insulin and then wait 15 minutes and then carry out a finger prick before the first bite and then test again after two hours?
Would the insulin not give an incorrect picture by lowering the figure after two hours?
Hoping someone can explain as I am in the realm of confusion.
Many Thanks
