If I were you I'd just keep on monitoring. I'd still take some Novorapid just reduce the doses. As for doing two injections of lantus, dobt best yourself up about it. It happens. I usually do my levemir just before bed. If I'm tired I often doubt myself and can't remember whether I've taken it...

Just test regularly and make sure you have plenty if glucose to hand. Your sugars will probably be a little unstable the next day or two but you'll be fine. Been there, done that (well levemir rather than lantus) and lived to tell the tale. Try not to worry too much xx

Fair enough. I wanted to try scuba diving while on holiday. The guy that told me I couldn't go wasn't the sharpest tool on the box, hence it felt a little patronising. In fact I'm pretty sure he was getting diabetes and asthma mixed up!

That's very high. Get them down ASAP and then see if you still have the bubbles. I'd also recommend taking a urine sample to the doctors with you - an early morning one. If some of the levels (microalbumin, I think) is out of the normal range it could cause similar symptoms. Hope the appointment...
