OMG - we forgot Lantus

It happens! When we were using MDI I had my mobile phone alarm set to go off every night for the Levemir injection otherwise I'd forget. We used to split the dose, the breakfast one we didn't forget because she had it with breakfast but the evening one wasn't with a meal and we'd forget. Perhaps if you do something similar, have an alarm set, it will help avoid this problem.

I'm not sure about Lantus, we used to use Levemir. But I believe if you missed the night time you could split it fairly evenly in half and give that half the next morning. But keep a close eye on readings for the rest of the day. Correct any highs with Novorapid and any lows with the usual hypo treatment.

As you've done the full injection this morning you'll need to speak to your DSN as tonight is going to be tricky as to how much to inject. If you do the full injection then he may run the risk of going hypo during the night. She may suggest missing an injection again tonight, then tomorrow morning doing half the dose followed by the full dose that evening.

let us know what the DSn says?
I had a similar problem recently, with Lantus. I just returned to normal timings, but reduced the dose by about 4 units (normal dose for me is 18 so I injected 14). I was a bit high next day but nothing horrendous. I think it's better to slowly ease back than get into one of those high/low flipflopping situations which just make you feel ill.

That's great it all worked out okay

I forgot to take my Lantus one evening (normally 10pm)... only remembered the next day at about 2pm!

I considered taking a reduced dose (half) and then carry on like normal, but I decided not to. I returned to my usual 10pm time slot that day.

My blood sugar was a little higher than normal but not too bad - I found I was using corrections at every meal.

I spoke to my DSN and she said because the effects of Lantus are spread over 3 days (that's how long you have to wait when changing dose) it's not as bad missing one lantus injection, as opposed to one levimir injection.

She also said that taking an injection when I remembered would have been a good idea (albeit reduced). She compared this to when you travel through timezones, sometimes you have to move the injection by more than 30mins...

Glad it worked out ok!
