Like i mentioned before i am not on the pump and am still using injections but I almost always give myself insulin right after the meal like this I know how much to inject. If I am eating a standard meal which I know will last long and I know exactly how much insulin I need for that particular meal I inject before (ie. shabbos seudos) Also, I agree with forever1 that its pretty safe to inject up to 20-30 minutes before a meal. most short acting insulins take about that amount of time to start working. Although it has happened to me more on more than one occassion that I injected insulin and began feeling really low in less than 20 minutes.. not sure why??
