Hi
I would put behind you any BG results until you start taking your BI insulin at the same time
In my previous post I said start with lunch since its mid day

If your BI insulin is correct you should be able to go 4 to 5 hours without taking carbs.
Notice the time period I've quoted. This matches the period between taking your QA and its effectiveness.
This makes sense since any carbs taken need matching with QA
Remember the rule
QA is taken to control any carbs taken
BI is to control the back background level or your body.
Of course other things effect both but that's for another time.
