[QUOTE="noblehead, post: 429022, member: 11028"] It goes without saying that the timing of insulin doses is important in relation to the food you eat and pre-prandial bg readings, if your already high before food then it's understandable that your postprandial bg will be higher than if you were within range, If you Google [b]Strike the Spike by Gary Scheiner[/b] you will get a better understanding of how to control postprandial bg rises. I do much like what Brett says and inject ahead of my food to give the insulin time to work, for myself it's no more than 15 mins but some type 1's do inject up to 30 mins before, the notion that insulin's such as Novorapid and Apidra are fast acting is deceiving, yes they are faster at working than human and animal insulin's but to say you can inject before or after food is not totally correct, the only time I now inject before food is if my bg is in the low 4's, the meal is low-gi or has a high-fat content.
