I've done this before when I was taking my Lantus before bed. Woke up about 3AM and remembered that I had not taken my shot before bed. Checked my bg to be sure and sure enough, middle 300's !!!
Called one of our local ER's and to tell you the truth, they were NOT much help. When I explained my situation, their response was "Well, we don't think it would hurt you to take it now but we really aren't advising you one way or the other." I was like WTF?? Aren't they supposed to be there to help you??
I finally was able to get in touch with my CDE through the hospital and he told me to go ahead and take it but to monitor the next 24 hrs very closely.
My suggestion would be to discuss this with your endo. It's best to know what to do before a situation arises.
