I am not a diabetic!! However, my husband is and as I am the one who mostly goes on the internet, I hope you will forgive me asking questions? :shock:
He has been diabetic for many years but recently developed an infection (kidney) and was eventually rushed to hospital for 10 days.
He was on metformin but is presently on insulin (which he is most upset about!)
It is made clear on the instructions that his evening insulin must be taken 15-30 mins prior to his meal.
However, insulin in the morning is mentioned as "at breakfast" ??? :crazy:
I would be grateful if someone could maybe explain exactly what this means? How soon does he have to have breakfast afterwards, please?!! Or does this vary from person to person?
Many thanks.
ps it is type 2 he has if this makes a difference?
