Oh, No! I Forgot!	1/12/2011
Here is a list of five ways to stay on your insulin schedule: Speak up. If you know you don't take your insulin every time you should, don't hide it.  Ask your healthcare team for ideas that can help you. Keep a log. Each time you take your insulin, write it down in a journal. It will help remind you when to take your next dose. Recruit family and friends. Ask them to help keep you on track without acting like the diabetes police. A polite question - not nagging - from them can help. Seek options. Maybe an insulin pump or a pre-filled pen-type device is the way to go. Ask your healthcare team about the benefits of each. Set an alarm. Many digital watches and cell phones and glucose meters come with alarms. Set yours for when you should take your insulin.
