Wrong insulin by mistake

Well, you've already had 7 units, so take the remaining 8 at your usual time and back to normal tomorrow You'll probably won't even notice the difference in your bg. You might go a bit high in the next couple of hours because you didn't take your humalog for your meal. No worries, tomorrow's a new day!

I’m guessing it would’ve been more problematic if I’d have given the wrong amount of rapid acting?

Yup, take care not to make that mistake! Many of us keep their pens in different places to avoid mix ups. Did that once and it wasn't fun. (I was safe, but it involved waking up a neighbour to sit with me through the night)

Hi, @Tubbycatsmum_ I reckon you're ok with this and there isn't much to worry about.

Timing of slow, basal insulins like abasaglar which take care of background insulin requirements isn't critically important, there's a fair bit of leeway with them, mainly because they operate slowly over hours and hours, so you'll be fine just taking the 8u at your normal time so that and the earlier 7u will add up to 15 ok.

Keep monitoring your blood sugars to.
We all make mistakes and learn by it.
Take care
