[QUOTE="Deleted Account, post: 2060135"] The two hour advice is usually aimed at someone with type 2. Although, the less spikes the better. If your BG is returning to reasonable levels, this suggests you have the right amount of insulin. If you are regularly seeing spikes, this may suggest you need to pre bolus a bit earlier. The carbs in your food is hitting your blood levels before your insulin reaches its peak. Unfortunately, working out how much earlier, is not straightforward as the carbs from different food is digested at different rates. It is normal to see sweeter food affecting your BG sooner (think about your hypo treatment speed) whereas more stodgy or fatty foods will take longer. So, in general, the sweeter stuff needs an earlier pre bolus and the stodgy, fatty food need less pre bolus. [/QUOTE]
