Guys how long do you wait after you've eaten until you eat?
I was told 15 mins
but sometimes in circumstances out of my control I have to eat straight away

When I was on novorapid I waited for 30-50 minutes, depending on bg and what I was about to eat. Now I'm on fiasp and I usually inject right before eating unless I'm too high.

It depends what I am doing and what is convenient. Ideally, I wait 40 minutes but that is rarely possible so I don't stress if I inject immediately before eating.
