What happens if you miss an insulin injection?

Last night I was out with my daughter, so my routine was disrupted. At about 5.30 am we find out that Snowy has had a little accident on the carpet. So there I am cleaning up this mess at 5.30am half asleep. It was then my husband said he did not give her the insulin injection and then it all made sense. As she has trouble seeing and thus, cannot get down the stairs, she had this accident upstairs. I quickly gave the injection and sat up watching her, as I was worried. Over the next few hours, she was drinking a lot of water- a sure sign her levels were up. So, I stayed and watched, just like a new mum watching over a sick child. The guilts have crept in. I'm back at work next week, so hopefully I will get our routine back to normal.
