It depends on the type of insulin and also the diabetic. It varies greatly on long acting insulin and short acting insulin. For short acting insulin you need to find out the insulin to carbohydrate ratio for a diabetic first. Using a sliding scale you need to determine the blood sugar of the diabetic and also how many carbohydrates they have ingested. Whether or not it is a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic will also affect the outcome. For an average sized adult with type 1 Diabetes, they would need to consume approximately 60-85 grams of carbohydrates, but again it depends on the individual greatly.

You take it every time you eat. Diabetics are supposed to eat six times a day, so that is six times. But, that doesn't mean that you are only allowed to eat that many times, because you can eat as much as you want as long as you provide your body with the correct amount of insulin. If you are on one of the pumps, then you do not have to take shots.
