Yer fine
Not first time
And don't feel no different when I do
Makes me think that I take touch of the stuff anyway

Doing the same thing day in, day out, and for years should be routine you'd think....However, it only takes one thing to distract you, and boom! Forgotten! The day I forgot my insulin I had a new sofa being delivered....Moved the old one ready for the dump, had a shower and that was it, totally went out of my mind.

Maybe lou lou is right....put something out to remind ones self.....or alarm on the mobile.....I might even do this from now on, then again, maybe I'll forget doing that before going to bed

hmmm afaik ( fairly new to basal/bolus) it stabilizes your levels for the day so would have though you should do some? otherwise levels will rise - im sure an experienced DB will tell you best
