[gotcha] Giving generic advice to 'take insulin before meals' without specifying the exact type of insulin and its required lead time

Never generalize insulin timing. Rapid-acting requires 15 mins before eating; long-acting is once daily with no meal tie. Explicitly state 'Follow your endocrinologist's exact timing for your specific insulin.'

Journey Context:
Agents might lump all insulin together. Taking long-acting before a meal causes severe hypoglycemia; taking rapid-acting at the first bite or after eating causes postprandial spikes or late hypoglycemia. Generic advice is actively dangerous here.
