I find it depends on how long you've missed your dose by, if it's just a few hours (like I usually take mine at 11pm, but have occasionally come home at 3am and taken it then) then just take it when you remember.

If it's longer than that, say if I was to wake up at 7am and realize i hadn't taken it I would suggest monitoring and correcting with humalog until your regular lantus time (I'd even suggest taking it a few hours early... a couple of hours won't mess anything up for the next day)

I have done what Sparkle suggested and taken half of it in the morning and then half at night and then back to regular dose on night two. All that did was make my blood sugar only half funky for two days instead of fully funky for one. I'd prefer just to be checking like crazy and bolusing for one day, so I'd advise against splitting the dose.

We all forget sometimes, just don't make a habit of it! Speaking of, it's 11:30 and I've not taken my Lantus yet... I'll do that now.
