Hey there just looking for some guidance, I have my breakfast around 20 past 8ish by the time i test and inject etc i sometimes then fancy a hot chocolate at around 9:45ish would it be ok to inject to cover it when i'm having my breakfast dose thanks in advance 🙂 x

If I remember rightly from your posts on the 'what did you eat today' thread, you normally have a carby breakfast, so in that case, yes it should be OK to calculate and cover for a hot chocolate you're going to have an hour later. Enough of your breakfast will have hit your system ahead of your insulin to tide you over. If you'd had scrambled egg or something, I wouldnt, because you might drop low before you get to the hot choc.
