Dinner (1 piece) and Insulin 10u (1 piece)

Confirm that the 10-unit dinner insulin dose, timing, injection technique, and insulin storage are appropriate with your diabetes clinician; do not increase doses on your own, especially if you have had lows.

If using rapid-acting mealtime insulin, ask your clinician whether taking it earlier before dinner is appropriate; timing that is too late can cause a large after-meal rise.

Reduce the dinner portion of rapidly absorbed carbohydrates and avoid sugary drinks, juice, desserts, white bread, white rice, and large potato servings.

Build dinner around non-starchy vegetables, protein, and healthy fats—for example, chicken, fish, tofu, eggs, lentils, leafy greens, broccoli, peppers, avocado, or olive oil.

Choose slower-digesting carbohydrate portions such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, quinoa, steel-cut oats, or barley, and measure the portion consistently.

Take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after dinner if safe for you, and track dinner foods, insulin timing, and glucose results for several days to identify repeat triggers.
