Forgot Lantus last night

[robert72]

I suppose it was bound to happen... I forgot to take my Lantus last night. The alarm went on my phone, I input the data into my app but just then the phone rang and by the end of the conversation I had completely forgotten about actually taking the Lantus.

My BGs were a bit high this morning but I thought I was getting a cold (turns out it was just a sore throat from snoring) and it wasn't until lunchtime that I thought to check how many needles were in my Lantus pen case (it's my system) and found one too many.

So I have taken a half dose of Lantus at lunchtime which I believe is the way to go, but not sure what to do tonight to avoid overlap stacking as my lunchtime shot will still be in effect.

Any ideas?

So the time has come for my Lantus and I made a snap decision.

Best idea I found whilst googling was to take half again, thus avoiding night time hypo, and then back to full measure tomorrow night. So basically I'll have to spend tomorrow checking and bolusing where needed, as I did through today.
