Re: Question about eating late.

Yeah, it's hard to manage. Depending on the insulin you take, it can be 15

minutes or 30+ minutes. I mix novolin R and NPH, (not novolog) so I have

about a 30 minute window before I eat.

I went out tonight with a group... took my shot in the car, went in and

found out that the group went to a different restaurant (this one had lost

their liquor license and the lushes who got there before me decided that

wouldn't do!)... so I had to drive 15-20 minutes to a different location..

then we sat around for about an hour waiting for everyone to get there and

place orders. Needless to say it was almost two hours after my shot that I

got my meal.

I went excused myself from the table, went to the bar and got a small glass

of OJ, and that carried me over to the food...

It's hard to be 'social' when you blood sugar starts to drop...
