Yes, but that's the nice thing about having a pump, as I can look it up in the bolus history to know for sure. It has been my memory for me many times.Health Question & Answer
That happens to me a lot. I remember getting the needle ready and priming it (I use pens for my fast acting), but I don't remember the actual injection. For my long acting insulin (I use a vial and syringe), I remember getting the insulin into the syringe, but again I don't remember the actual injection.

If you take it twice then you have to test to see how your blood sugar is doing. You might have to eat sugar to bring up again.
When I take it twice, it go down to about 50 in an hour.
Place 4 needle on a table, that way you could keep track of what you took.Health Question & Answer

Yes. So I take it as soon as I remember
UNLESS it is close to time for my next injection (like an hour or so), then I skip it.
If this is a problem -- WRITE IT DOWN. Keep a logbook, and write down date and time you took each injection. also, keep a diary of what and how much you ate. this information helps you locate certain "special" foods that "set you off". For instance, some diabetics can't eat bagels, others can.Health Question & Answer
