Hi guys. So the first time I’ve missed my background last night.

What should I do now ? Inject a smaller dose to cover me till this evening? My levels are fine.

I would usually inject 14 units at 10pm

Any advice appreciated
 
If you are comfortable giving yourself correction doses, I would recommend extra testing and corrections with your fast acting insulin until its time for your next basal.
You could also take your basal a little earlier (1 or 2 hours early).
 
Hope things have been going OK for you today @Jimmy2202

All too easily done! But hopefully you’ve weathered the wobbles and kept things from running away from you.

All hunky dory cheers. I done what @helli advised. I didn’t really see any difference in levels after lunch or tea so didn’t have to do any corrections.
