I just did it again, probably for the hundredth time. Did I, or did I not take my insulin before lunch. I've put a rubber-band on my pen cap that I loop around, once for breakfast, once for lunch, once for dinner... but I get into the habit of doing things so routinely that I can look at my injection pen, see the rubber-band has not been looped, but I swear I just took my insulin. And I'm talking like 30 seconds ago max. Does anyone out there have a better way of remembering if they have, in-fact, taking their injection / medication?

Leave medications next to your toothbrush. I assume you brush your teeth daily, correct? You won't forget if you do that.

I've been doing injections for 28 years. I was diagnosed T1 at 8 years old. Everything becomes routine with time. I always take my long acting insulin before I go to bed, and my short acting insulin as needed. An alarm on your phone could help remind you, or you could add a note. There are lots of diabetic apps that could help you notate your insulin injections. If it's the weekend and I'm drinking beer, I'll leave the long acting insulin out in front of me after taking it. It reminds me that I had taken it the night before.

I usually make a small checklist that i keep in the cabinet of my medication and have a reminder in my phone for them

My husband has diabetes and writes his sugar levels and size of his shot in the little book they give him. I guess if there is nothing written down then he hasn't done it yet. You didn't ask about diabetes only, but maybe it is something translatable to whatever other issues someone else might have.
