happy new year to u 2,if i eat pasta or rice i find it better to do my insulin half hour after the meal,if i have a cooked dinner i do it just before i eat,each meal you have should contain some starchy foods such as bread, pasta, rice, potatoes, cereals, noodles, eat plenty of fruit and veg cut down on fat sweet things, if you feel strange again test your bg and have something sweet then, like a bit of chocolate or a drink of lucozade, your diabetic nurse can give you a healthy eating for people with diabetes book, good luck
