I personally only wait maybe an hour depending what I eat, but then again I don't have hypoglycemia so take that for what it's worth. If time is a problem why don't you do 30 minutes twice a day instead of an hour once a day?

What are you symptoms? Have you done glucose testing to determine HG? Controlling HG with diet is easy once you know exactly what yo really have.
