An hour early is really okay. Isn't it amazing that your blood sugar didn't go through the roof? I forgot to take my Lantus once also. I was amazed at how well my blood sugar behaved!!


Let me see if I can explain this a different way. If your long acting insulin lasts 22 hours and you forget to take it and you normally take your insulin in the morning. So four hours later you realize that you didn't take it and you take it. Your next 22 hours starts then. But the next morning you take your insulin at your normally scheduled time. You would have four hours where you had two doses of long acting insulin in your system. Does this make better sense to you? In that 4 hours you would have the possibility of having hypoglycemia because of too much insulin.
