If you forget to take a dose of NovoLog, it's important to remember that this insulin is typically used before meals, so there isn't a strict schedule for when you must take it. When you do use NovoLog, make sure to have a meal within 5 to 10 minutes. It's not advisable to use extra insulin to compensate for a missed dose.
To avoid running out of medication, always keep a supply of insulin on hand and refill your prescription before you completely run out of it.
