This is true, but after only 20 minutes, I wouldn't even test my BGL again, just bolus for the food only.

As most are saying, the IOB only plays a part if you are dealing with a BGL reading as well. Unless you are dropping low, you should cover your snacks with the proper insulin. I would say though, to do some 2, 3, and 4 hour tests after eating (without snacks) to see if you IC ratio is accurate.
