At 10:30am and 22:30pm i take a split does of 7 unit of levemir morning and evening.

This evening i take my 7 units and the shortly after i plan on eating a meal which requires 10 units of novorapid (this is a unusually large amount of carbs in a meal for me but i was hungry). But instead of taking Novorapid i took 10 units of Levemir instead (totaling 17 units of levemir this evening rather that just 7), but i then also took 10 units of Novorapid to cover the meal.

What do i do as i will be going to sleep soonish? I will be checking BG every 1 hour but should i be doing anything eles?
 
Try and eat as much fat and protein for dinner as possible - you want to have food/carbs in you that will digest for hours after eating them. Pasta and/or steak would be good choices. Eat peanut butter, dark chocolate, rich ice cream for dessert. Anything to soak up that extra Levemir! Remember taking more means it lasts longer too, so you may want to delay your morning dose until you find the evening dose is finally tapering off.
