[gotcha] Telling a user to take rapid-acting insulin after they eat if they forgot to take it before

Advise contacting a diabetes care team for missed dose protocols. Do not calculate post-prandial dosing blindly, as late insulin action combined with post-meal glucose drops can cause severe hypoglycemia.

Journey Context:
Agents try to be helpful by correcting timing errors. If rapid-acting insulin is taken after a meal, its peak action aligns with the natural post-absorptive glucose decline, causing a stacked effect and severe hypoglycemia. The trap is applying simple 'take it when you remember' logic to pharmacokinetics.
