I am 68 1/2 female taking humalog on a sliding schedule during the day. Lantus 15 units am & 10 units before bedtime. I accidentally took 11u lantus 10 min. Ago. Can I still take my humalog 11 units? Lantus is fast acting. Lantus will not kick in for 12 hours.

Lantus is a long acting insulin. It works for 20-24 hrs. Anyways since you have already taken lantus instead of humalog, you can still take humalog but make sure to monitor your sugars as there can be possibility of hypoglycemia later on which you need to be aware of & avoid it by taking good at that point of time.
