Hello all, I had a slight anti- eureka moment and wondered your thoughts on it. So I was on Novoraoid for years, since 2006 or something, and I SWEAR they told me that I could inject once my plate was in front of me. So that’s what I did.
Then this year my new diabetiologist said I should’ve been injecting 15 mins before I eat, which makes sense. So l’ve beeb trying to do that to curb post meal rises.
Anyway. A few days ago before bed I felt a slight low twinge, did a test and had perfect blood sugars (5.6). But 20 minutes later I was hypo (3.2)! I’d not eaten for a few hours or exercised.
So my question is, how are you meant to blood test and carb ratio 15 mins before a meal when your BG really could change in those 15 minutes? Is there an answer to this?
