Newbie 5/7/23: What to do if you forget a dose.

[Angie & Celia (Cruz)]

Forgive me if this is answered somewhere here already, but still learning to navigate this site. I was wondering if you forget a dose (although I will be putting my phone alarms on for them like I have to do everything else) for some rare reason, do you skip it or give it as soon as remembered and if the latter: how far is too late to give it (considering it's an every 12h dose)? Thanks!

It is better to try and stick to the 12 hour cycle if you can. If you gave it an hour late, you will have to give the next dose 12 hours after that new time so you will get off schedule…Although you can get back on track by going back to the original schedule 15 minutes each cycle OR 30 minutes once a day.
If you are more than 2 hours late, I would skip unless there were ketones at diagnosis.

Thank you so much!
