Good Caturday Morning Everyone in Lantus Land, 
Patience. That's my motto now. Gandolf and I simply keep plodding along. Seems we haven't found "his dose" yet.
Advice needed. I am necessarily cutting the number of times I check Gandolf's BG. It's a budget thing, a time & money budget. Don't like to be regulated by those but am. Also, DD will only be checking pre-shot BG #s so also headed in that direction (unless a dosecrease then will add a couple more spot checks).
Questions:
1. Besides Pre-shot, when is best to spot check? I'm thinking +6 or +7 (seems Gandolf's nadir was typically around there). Does that sound right?
2. We enter the 7th 2U cycle today. It appears to me a dosecrease may be necessary. I'm thinking two things. Up it .25 beginning tonight's cycle and I have 7 cycles to watch him or...let it ride here at 2U till I get back and then do the docrease if necessary. We lose some time though. Even though his #s went up to 366 yesterday, it seems he's staying in yellow & pink right now. I certainly thought he's start getting lower #s but it's not happening yet. I try not to think like that anymore. We'll just wait till we find his dose and be glad when it happens. Less disappointment.
Don't want to lose momentum - and if I do increase for 7 cycles, then it can be reduced to 2Us ( for 8-9 cycles) when I leave. And that might keep us moving forward and or holding steady in the yellow/pink #s.
What do our dosing experts think? I'm not sure about all this. Sure appreciate your input.
Looking forward to seeing lower numbers someday soon, :dizcat
