A member asked:

I don't know why but i keep forgetting to take my insulin is that more harmful than not taking it at all one day i remember to take it then i get busy.?

Set an alarm: Not taking Insulin or taking it at the wrong time could be dangerous. Somehow you need to set up an alarm reminding you to take it on time. This is a common problem but the consequences may be harmful if not addressed.
