[QUOTE="StewM, post: 2401435, member: 538114"] So I had a brain fart and forgot to take my Insulin with dinner last night. My two hours post meal reading made me think I just needed correction. My three hour reading made it abundantly clear I hadn’t take any Insulin with dinner. What’s the rough guidance on what to do in such a situation? Like I wouldn’t just take a correction dose (as I’ve found when I’ve miscounted my carbs “corrections” don’t correct like they would normally). I took my full dose at hour 3 (minus the “correction” added at hour 2) but I found, perhaps unsurprisingly that the dose taken at that point was far too effective (with limited amounts of digestion still going on). Causing one mild hypo before bed and one hypo in the middle of the night. Which suggests I should’ve taken a reduced dose, but reduced by how much? [/QUOTE]
