A post-meal reading of 190 indicates that your insulin timing, dosage, or meal composition may need to be adjusted because premixed insulin occasionally has poor post-prandial spike control. If necessary, discuss dose titration, cutting back on high-carb foods, or changing to a basal-bolus regimen with your diabetologist.
