I forgot to take my Humulin insulin last night and my readings are very high today. It was16.6 at 7am. I took 10 mls of Novorapid with my breakfast ( I usually take 6). Now at 11.30am, my reading is 22.6.

What should I do?
 
If in doubt, phone 111 and ask for their advice ....
 
personally i would test every hour and use novorapid to correct until this evening humulin dose is due.

you could ring your DSN ( diabetes specialist nurse ) for her advice.

Thank you. I rang about 10 mins ago but they seldom reply until the late afternoon. I shall follow your advice re novorapid.

just be very careful not to stack the novorapid insulin
but lots of testing and drink plenty of water.
 
The DSN has just called. I am to take 4 mls Humulin and increase my Novorapid at mealtimes till I am back to normal. Thanks for all your advice.
