Really messed up here. Have lunch at 2:30pm - 3:00pm then tea at 7:00pm - 7:30pm however the day has gone on and am just having lunch/tea whatever you want to call it. So I'm missing a meal & QA injection. Take BI at 10:00pm. I'm off out this evening also but not for a meal just to see a gig. BS was 12.8 which I presume is because I've not eaten since breakfast. Had QA dose for meal and a correction.
What would you do in this situation?
Thanks for any help

I don't know if I understand the situation............
You have missed a meal? Is that your lunch at 2-3PM or dinner at 7-8PM?
Either way, on the insulin regime you are on, MDI, its OK to miss a meal, as you just don't take QA insulin for it............
Your BG should be held steady by your Lantus............if its not, as I think you have stated above then your BI dose is out, or in other words, not enough.............however you have been needing less recently in order to avoid hypos in the morning.......
This is a typical scenario where a split of BI is needed........
Have I understood you correctly.......?
