I too went through a period of not watching what i was eating, not testing and in some cases missing my insulin.   To my surprise my diabetic nurse was very understanding however she suggested if nothing else that i must have breakfast and that i must take my long acting insulin to provide my body with some cover.  Then once the funeral was over and i was a bit more on an even keel we worked together to me back into eating properly, testing and taking my insulin correctly.       So having a few days off isn't going to harm you long term unless you already have diabetes induced problems.  Yes this blip will probably show in your next Hb1ac depending on how often you are tested, but you will know what has caused it and that you can get back on track.</blockquote>
