Missed Insulin dose

[laughing_girl]

Hi I have been on Insulin for 3 months and take 44 units of Lantus at 10pm every night as well as my tablet medication I suffer from Anxiety and forgot my evening dose on Saturday and only remembered Sunday afternoon I checked my blood sugars and they were 8.6 and took my insulin again Sunday evening, what should I have done and does it matter if I miss my nightly dose?

Hi. I did the same and my diabetic nurse told me not to panic and gave me a couple of alternatives. Take it now but this would mean that it might be at an inconvenient time thereafter. She suggested I just take it the following day as usual. We all have occasional blips, and this is one. It didn't seem to leave any lasting effect on me.

I'm sure you will be fine
