NPH is a 12 hour insulin, so if you're a full night past dosing time, it's too late - don't double up. You need to correct with your fast-acting insulin and keep a close eye on things.

Avoid carbs until you're back down to normal range again (easier said than done eh? If you're anything like me you crave carbs when high!).

Test LOTS!

Don't exercise until you're under 13mmol or so - you actually cause damage by exercising when you're high.

Do drink lots of water and get some rest though.
