Help! Missed a shot, what to do?

We missed Basil's shot at 8pm tonight. He was at 14.1, so he was meant to get his 1.5u, but we forgot. It's now +3 and he's at 12.1. What would you do??? His normal amps is anywhere from 12.2-16.6. Nadir seems to be at about +6, when he can get as low as 8.4. Pmps tends to be a bit lower...anywhere from 6.8-14.1, usually more likely around the 13.5-14 level.
Thanks,
Kate and Basil
 
I don't know your insulin, but I might give a slightly reduced dose. Maybe 1 unit?

I hope someone who knows your insulin comes along soon.
 
He seems to be low enough so I would just skip the shot. It is not that harmful to skip a shot once in awhile as long as there is not history of keytones or other problems.
