Reading the thread about testing, and how often, I was wondering if people test if they fancy a snack, or if they just inject for the snack?
In my case, because I've always been nervous about injecting insulin between meals (getting it wrong and 'stacking' it), I do a test if I want a snack. If my levels are good, I'll have the snack and not usually inject. If my levels are a bit on the high side, I'll usually just forego the snack or find something non-carby like cheese.
