Diabetes Essentials : Give insulin 10-15 minutes before meals.

Hi there,

If you’re unsure of when to give insulin at mealtimes, Healthcare Professionals suggest to give it 10-15 minutes before eating as it takes this long for insulin to start working.

If you need any further guidance with pre-meal bolusing you can contact your local diabetes team for any extra support that you need.
