[Diabetes-talk] got a question??

[Eileen Scrivani]

Debbie:

Call your doctor and tell him what happened.  If it were me, I guess I'd do 
the obvious and check blood sugars a bit more frequently over the next 24 
hours.  A while back, I forgot to take my Lantis at bedtime, so in the AM I 
took half the dose and kept my fast-acting insulins as usual.  That's me, so 
really, call and get input from your doctor.

Good luck.

Eileen
