I have done it a couple of times. Normally I see an increase from around 5 to around 13-15 if I forget. Once you have some basal back in you, I find the novorapid brings things back into line very quickly, however without any basal, I've found I need roughly twice as much NovoRapid to bring me back in line.

Missed my lunch bolus a couple of days ago. Didn't realise until postprandial test. Just used standard correction formula to get back. It's nice to have pens with memories so you can confirm the missed shot.
