This might sound ridiculous but tonight I forgot I was diabetic.
I've had a really long day on very little sleep. Travelled from Birmingham to London and back.
When I got back to brum I was starving and popped in for a KFC. I'd had very little to eat all day so wolfed it down, got on my bus home and had a nap.
It wasn't until I got home I realised I should have taken my Apidra fast acting insulin. You can take apidra upto 15 mins after starting your meal - so I'm not always militant about injecting first. I've also only had insulin a month. I feel like a right pleb.
Levels are 17 now!!!
Should I just have a dose now or leave it to work it's way out with the Basal insulin?
All advice welcome.
