Can somebody advise me... I've forgotten to take my lantus this evening and I'm apprehensive as to what to do tomorrow as in do I take the same amount of units? Will I go high?
 
When do you normally take it?, can u have it now?. If you take it now, then your usual time tomorrow evening have as carby snack tomorrow evening to account for the overlap.

Around 6/7? I'm not going to be at home for the next half an hour can I take it when I get in? Will I feel ill tomorrow? Xxx
 
Would take it when you get in, otherwise you prob be high.in the morning and have to over compensate with qa tommorow. Just have less qa with tea tomorrow as from 6 ish till you take it tonight there will be an overlap tomorrow. Keep a closer check on things too, regular testing.

It's such a hard one - I forgot a morning dose once and realised late on - but 'cos that would effect my night if I took it later (i.e. going on levemir lasting about 18 hours) I just missed it as I figured that was safer and only needed to slightly increase my QA insulin - and my sugars were ok - then just had my evening dose as normal. I guess it partly depends how much you have, how big the difference will be - as long as you keep an eye on your sugars today you should be fine.
 
Sugars we're fine today! Didn't go high at all. What's QA? Xxx
 
I didn't no! I took my blood as I didn't get in till about 2. Was around 8 and the same when I woke up which is was relieved at! Thanks for yours advice though!!!:)xxx
