Hi, I have been doing 3.75 mg over the last 5 weeks since increasing to the 5mg pen. I have had no issues so far but was worried about the jump to 5mg from 2.5. Tonight I have tried to get the 6th dose out of the pen (I know I shouldn't use as over the 30 days but given the current situation I decided to do it anyways as only a few days over) and could only get 18 clicks before the pen stopped. I have then panicked about only having 18 clicks and being on holiday so couldn't open a new pen to get the rest and have forced the pen to get the rest out as I didn't have an insulin needle with me to extract it. This worked and only after have I realised that I have injected the rest of what was in the pen plus the 18 clicks. I have worked it out and it should be approximately 75 clicks that I have had which works out as 6.2mg. I know others are on more than double this amount but I am freaking out about it and I am in another country 🙃 will I be ok??

It's no worse than a normal jump up of a dose so I wouldn't worry, you may get side effects you may not, have some immodium handy in case you get the runs, it usually stops it for me! If you haven't been having side effects so far you will probably be ok. But don't worry in terms of having 'overdosed' you haven't, it's just a slightly higher dose than you meant, as you say next dose after 5mg is 7.5mg and it's less than that.
Don't worry and enjoy your holiday!

Yes, you'll be absolutely fine.
