[QUOTE="jessie, post: 50929, member: 9896"] ..I forgot to take my Lantus last night, I normally split it in to 2 doses (5 units at 10am and 5 units at 10pm). This morning my BS was 7.5 and now after a low carb breakfast it's 9.7. I took my usual 5 units of Lantus this morning but should I have taken more to compensate for missing it last night? Also I'm not 100% clear as to the purpose of background insulin..am I right in thinking it keeps 'everything' functioning and is not relative to the food I eat? My DN told me if I fancy a snack - eg piece of toast - between meals then my background insulin will cover this so I don't need to take any Novorapid. Hence I'm confused! Jessie. x [/QUOTE]
