This is interesting question! I am not sure from uncertainty from people with diabetes if he/she got insulin or not. Probably busy people or it depends on the situation? does uncertainty happened when those people young or that appeared recently with age? I know some people record doses in a book so if unsure may back to the book. I know friend of mine when take the dose sing a certain song so he remembers he sang it for taking the dose!

Good luck
