Two hours after I like to be under 120...but I don't sweat the "spikes" prior...I always drop quickly and need a little padding. I continue to drop normally after 2-3 hours...so I need a little padding to handle the Humalog.

I find the biggest difference in post-meal numbers is determined by when I take the initial bolus...or split bolus, etc. Fast carbs...I try to take 15 minutes earlier. Slow carbs such as pasta and such, then I take after eating.

This has helped premature lows.
