Thread: Missed the Levemir shot last night!

I'm surprised you're able to make it on one shot of Levemir - in most children it fades well before 24 hours. Kathy takes very small amounts of insulin, still, even though her honeymoon is over. Or so we think. Her carb ratios are still high too - 1:24. Endo considered changing the Levemir...

If she is on the high side at bedtime you can think about 1.5 units...

Does she get a split dose Vicky? or all in one. Im thinking that should be fine but check with the endo. She may be a bit high today but back to normal tomorrow. And yes we all forget stuff like that

if you dont do a split dose and you want to give 1 now i would probably just give one tonight and then go back to 2 tomorrow ...she should be ok if you just wait till tonight to give the 2 she might be a little hi but it still lingers in your system a bit ...when i forget mine its easier for me to just deal with the hi's and do the next shot
