Hi Lalliana ,

Welcome to the group. Please feel free to continue asking questions, posting your postings and comments, taking the polls on the Polls section, attending the Monthly Meetings held one weekend a month (Saturday or Sunday) using a posting for the group to follow, commenting on other Member's postings and comments and of course, get to meet the rest of the members.

Dealing with the question about when to take insulin, as Hidden had mentioned, ask the Pharmacist and/or your doctor. Each brand of insulin is different and may work differently for other people. I personally take the short acting insulin after eating a meal. The long acting insulin I take can be done before or after eating my bedtime snack-- depending on the blood sugars. I hope this helps.

"It's very individualistic, based on the type of insulin the person is on," says Laura Wise, RN, BSN, CDE, CMSN, a certified diabetes educator at Barnes Jewish Hospital in St. Louis. If you take rapid-acting insulin (Humalog, NovoLog, or Apidra), you'll inject your dose no more than 10 to 15 minutes before you eat. Regular insulin and a mix including regular should be taken 30 minutes before a meal.
