... Before I always injected insulin after eating or when I started eating, now I try 10 or 15 minutes before, you also have to see the amount of blood glucose one, if you are between 80-130 insulin 10 to 15 minutes before, if you are low before starting to eat, if you are high, the units are added to correct, after two hours, if it is necessary to correct with several units according to the amount of blood glucose.

@CDB1 depends on the rapid insulin you use. I use Fiasp and it is so fast that I often put it in the middle of the food because it goes faster than my digestion.If I'm between 70 and 80, I put it on after eating

I only put the fast insulin (novorapid) in the middle or after the food in two situations: if I am low glycemia before eating, around 70-80, or if the food has more fat and protein than usual.Well in this second case, I distributed the fast insulin and I put half before and the rest after the food.
In normal situations I put it between 15 to 30 m before.

Everything is trying, it also depends a lot on how digestions are done.There are people who make them slower than others.

All the best

I in particular choose to put me always after eating, one for more tranquility is not worth it that you put on 15 minutes before and you have any problem. Insulin will not forgive you and it will act the same instead already knowing that you have eaten andHow much, you put it as soon as you finish but it is my way of thinking for ugly experiences that I had and good over the years one is driving it as you feel best, greetings
