Hello Shivika,
As I understand it, Huminsulin R peaks between 2-4 hours after injection. So any snack you have around 3-4 hours after injection will be mostly covered by that injection and your blood glucose won’t rise too high. If you have a snack 5-6 hours after injection, the majority of the insulin will have already been used by your body, so there will be less active insulin in your body to counteract the additional carbs from the late snack.
Some technical details on huminsulin r, including a graph of how long it stays active post-injection, can be found in this technical paper.
Best wishes, Mike
