[QUOTE="Juicyj, post: 409948, member: 53162"] I always take my Novorapid 20-30 mins before eating. Novorapid will start working straight away, and peaks after 2 hours- the DAFNE approach is to only test blood glucose levels before meals or snacks as quick acting insulins can take up to 4 hours to leave your system, so testing your blood glucose an hour or 2 after eating will only give you an unrealistic reading and this is when some people would take a correction dose - which can lead to hypos. Try to avoid the temptation if possible and wait until the next mealtime to see if you counted your carb ratio correctly ? [/QUOTE]
