Lady night somehow I was so silly I forgot to take my lantus injection. I only realised when I tested in the morning and my numbers were so high! What should I do? And does missing a dose make you feel drowsy?

Hi Knikki I think I'm a little scared to take my lantus now. After writing my post I've been thinking and I've decided il take it tonight my normal time. Ur right that everyone is different. And you said that may be making me feel drowsy - phew that made me feel better!
You are not the first to do this and will not be the last.
If it was me and I realised during the day, I would leave the Lantus until the usual time.
Until then, I would test and correct at least every two hours (but be aware of bolus stacking when you calculate your correction dose).
It is likely your high BG will make you feel drowsy so if you can correct, you may start feeling a little more alert ... and less likely to forget your Lantus tonight.
As has been said already, your not the 1st and defo wont be the last.....
If it was me and I found out around lunchtime I would probably wait until my usual time BUT you need to be testing a lot and doing a lot of corrections I would have thought. Good luck
