Insulin 10 (1 piece)

If “insulin 10” means 10 units of insulin, do not change the dose or timing on your own; review the pattern with your diabetes clinician or pharmacist, especially if spikes recur.

Check glucose before eating and about 1–2 hours afterward, and record the meal, portion, insulin timing, activity, and any missed doses to identify the cause of the spike.

Reduce the carbohydrate portion and avoid sugary drinks, juice, sweets, and refined grains; pair carbohydrates with protein, fiber, and unsaturated fat.

Choose slower-rising carbohydrate options such as lentils, chickpeas, beans, steel-cut oats, plain Greek yogurt, apples, berries, or non-starchy vegetables.

Eat carbohydrates alongside protein such as eggs, fish, chicken, tofu, or cottage cheese rather than eating them alone.

If it is safe for you, take a gentle 10–20 minute walk after the meal; seek urgent medical advice for very high readings, ketones, vomiting, confusion, or trouble breathing.
