I missed my injection time, should I just skip my Rapid insulin and take my Night insulin?

[QUOTE="catapillar, post: 1295192, member: 32394"] Sorry [USER=337851]@budapest7[/USER] i don't really know how to add clarity on my previous post at #10 or @azures at #18 Rapid acting (humalin r) is the insulin you take with meals. If you aren't eating, don't take it. If you are eating, take it. Long acting (humalin n) you take once a day - try to take it at approximately the same time every day, but a few hours here or there won't make any difference. You don't need to leave any particular time elapse between taking rapid and long acting insulin, if you are taking them at the same time, you don't need to adjust doses, but you should not inject them in the same place on your body because they will mess up the timing action if injected in the same place. Hope that helps. And you are feeling better after your hypo - to avoid this, if you aren't eating, don't inject rapid insulin. [/QUOTE]
