That's a 50-point lower peak, from timing alone. Same dose, same food.\nThen the twist that keeps you from getting weird about it: a second study in Diabetes Technology & Therapeutics found 20 minutes early won at the one and two-hour marks, but 30 minutes early did NOT beat 15. There's a sweet spot, usually 15 to 20 minutes for most people on regular rapid insulin, and your exact number is yours to find. This is the proof that this one small change is worth it.\nIn this episode:\nThe Diabetes Care study: 15 minutes early cut the peak by about 50 points\nWhy earlier isn't automatically better (the sweet spot explained)\nThe 15-to-20-minute window most people land in\nHow to start hunting for your own personal pre-bolus timing\nThis Week's Challenge: Get honest about your natural timing right now. When you sit down, are you dosing early, late, or mid-chew?
