Hi,

I also take a long acting insulin at night and have forgotten to take the shot or for some reason wasn't able to take it. I didn't have any adverse effects from missing the dose. If you are worried maybe you should contact your doctor for advice. But, I really don't think missing one dose will be a big problem. Just be sure to take your next dose and if you are also on a fast acting insulin with meals be sure to take those on time. I hope this helps.
