Insulin, even the fast acting types like Humalog take some time to begin working. The package advice is 15 minutes but I find it more like 20 to 25. It is far better to take the insulin that much BEFORE a meal rather than after. That way the insulin is "kicking in" as the glucose from the food is going into circulation. With the way you are taking the Humalog, you will be spiking very high before the insulin has a chance to do anything. BTW, your menu menu is very high in fast acting carbs - Orange Juice is taking to contradict a low; it's just NOT a normal, healthy drink for a diabetic!
