[QUOTE="Roppa, post: 2612059, member: 510157"] Usually in the afternoon. If my blood sugar is around 5 before a meal then it's usually about 2.5 to 3 hours after a meal. I take the amount of insulin my Aviva expert says but sometimes I will do things like empty the washing machine and put stuff on the clothes horse or walk down 4 flights of stairs to front door and back (if I'm expecting a parcel). I usually have extra carbs if I've done this but sometimes I forget to and can have a hypo. Other times I do little things that could all add up to probably cause a hypo. My libre meter is supposed to warn me but it rarely goes off and the readings are that far out. I'd say it's almost correct only 10%of the time, readings can be out by 1 to 4mml compared with a fingerprick test. Times I have planned to do stuff I take less mealtime insulin and everything is usually fine (no hypos) if I had done lots of stuff in the evening I would take less background insulin (at bedtime) and everything is fine (no hypo).
