Hi,
Generally, taking an extra tablet does not cause a lot of concern. You should just keep an eye on your sugar to avoid low sugars, If at any time you feel shaky or tremors or sweating (signs of hypoglycemia) you should urgently take food. Before the next dose check your sugar.
Hope I have answered your question. I will be glad to answer any further question about this.
