Forgotton to take my insulin!

[Mellampard]

Hi,
I have been on insulin for just over a week and 10 mins ago, after having had my tea, I realised I hadn't taken my insulin. What an idiot!!!
What do I do now? Do I take it now or do I wait till tomorrow morning?
I am injecting twice a day with Mixtard 30. 10 units in a morning and 8 at teatime!
My BS was 11.5 just now, 10 mins after my tea.
I'm really worried now and I can't talk to anyone so I'm hoping there are some old hands who will advise me.
Thanks
Mel

Hi,

Take it now - you can't go without insulin until tomorrow morning. Just keep checking your blood sugars for the next few hours, take some glucose if you go hypo.
