Short-acting insulin covers your insulin needs during meals. It is taken about 30 minutes to an hour before a meal to help control blood sugar levels. This type of insulin takes effect in about 30 minutes to one hour, and peaks after two to four hours. Its effects tend to last about five to eight hours.
About 20-30 mins in, you peak. Your body produces insulin to make your cells absorb it. The insulin lasts longer than it takes to absorb the sugar, so then you have too much insulin and your blood sugar starts falling. So then your body produces other hormones to start glycolysis and return energy to your blood stream.
