    Forgotten to take insulin!!

    Yes vix107, it definitely helped me today..... You know what? I always thought Actrapid never worked for me, and even the doctor was puzzled.... telling me to inject more, or try to inject in different locations on the body (Thinking there was a problem with bruising) Ended up with 4 injections...
