Best time to exercise?

I've decided to start walking...I've got to do something! I prefer the idea of doing it in the evenings, after dinner, but I know from experience that if I do it right after dinner I'm going to have to drastically reduce my insulin for dinner or I'll go low, have to treat, and really defeat the purpose behind all of this.
Would it be better if I did it before a meal, or wait an hour after to let the insulin get ahead of the game?
Just looking for some input from those of you who do exercise and what works best for you.
Thanks!
