[QUOTE="kitedoc, post: 1815423, member: 468714"] Hi @ shannonlouisea, Taking insulin becomes a habit. On a pump it is a bit easier as I only need to change the reservoir holding the insulin and the needle under the skin every 3 days or so [B][I]BUT remembering to give the bolus dose before each meal I very occasionally forget.[/I][/B] Feeling unwell in several hours time with I high BSL does give one an incentive to remember !! [B][I]The opposite can happen too, [/I][/B]where I have forgotten that I have already given myself the dose and injected the dose a second time !! Of course there is no way to 'extract' the added dose so it is a matter of eating more to combat the low blood sugars until the effect of the insulin wears off. There is a device called Insulog which can be fitted to any of the insulin pens which logs dose and time with a[ information sent to your mobile phone. I do not know if it reminds you to give a dose though. [/QUOTE]
