Oh dear!!!!
C forgot to take her Levemir last night.
She woke me during the night saying she was hypo. Tested 23.4. So we thought that the liver kicked in. This morning she came into my bedroom and said she didn't feel well. As soon as she said that, I asked her about the Levemir. She felt really upset that she'd forgotten. And I felt a bit bad that I hadn't reminded her as usual.(Usually, she had already done it when I asked).
Anyway, I hope I've done the right thing (too late to worry about it now though😱) I gave her half the dose of Levemir and 3 u NovoRapid. Then I got the book out to see what I should have done. In the book it said to give half the dose of Lantus, but mentiones nothing about Levemir. And 0.1U/kg bodyweight of Fast Acting.
Her sugar levels slowly came down to 13. But she had ketones. She had breakfast and I nagged her to drink to get rid of the ketones. By lunchtime she was 18 again, but her ketones have gone down (not completely disappeard yet).
I will make her test again in half an hour to see what her levels are 2 hours after lunch.
So I just wondered, what did you do if you forgot your Levemir?
