Background Insulin re Beditme Testing

Before i have my each of my main meals ie breakfast, lunch & dinner i always test first then either inject & eat or eat & inject.....i'm on Humalog QA.
When it comes to supper time sometimes i have supper sometimes not, depends if i'm hungry or not. If i'm having supper i always have it downstairs whilst watching tv then do my test a bit later when i go to bed. Am i doing this the right way round or should i be testing before i have my supper? i'm on Lantus BI, which i believe lasts approx 24hrs.

Thank you for any help about this.

You should always test before you eat anything, as this then allows you to correct your BG if needs be...................

If your snack was within 4-5 hours of your dinner then you dont need to test as your QA and CPs are still having an effect. I still test however, as my meter can account for on board insulin doses..........

Your current procedure may mean that when you test before bed, you will be high from your uncovered supper, then you will correct with QA and then take your BI....................however the correction may not be enough as the full extent of carbohydrate has not entered your blood stream.........

I can assume you going to bed is within an hour or so of eating your supper, so simply giving the dose at bed instead would be my course of action.....

But you should try and test before like you do during the day...........................just keep your testing gear and insulin in the kitchen................
