fatty meals before slin

[tinman]

I am about to start-up my humalog use after workouts again. Recently, I have been eating peanut butter sandwiches before workouts to provide energy. But if i workout for an hour and then take my insulin, the fat from the peanut butter will still probably be entering my system. So the question I am asking is how long after my sandwiches should I take my insulin in order to minimize the fat absorbtion?

Would 1.5 hours be enough time to fully digest the peanut butter?

A

A good rule of thumb is 3 hours before and 3 hours after. So no fats 3 hours before injection or 3 hours after.

vitor is right , 3 hours on both sides.
