No worries. There is always next time. Eric, would you be interested in trying U100s and the conversion chart so you could shoot the tiny increments better?
 
Well, we got our blue. She really does react to a small increase, but we do want her in lower levels.... I think the U100s might help you tweak the dose. She is like several of the kitties here (check out Teasel and Kris and Hermonine and Kimi.) Just a little bit of insulin sends them from high to low so they have to do tiny changes and leave them for awhile.

Thanks Sue. I've been on here since July and alot of this is still seens new. Just when you think you have it all figured out they serve up a curveball. I'm glad all of you are patient with me.
 
Hey, Eric, we all know how hard this is! Some kitties are just more unpredictable than others. Phoebe is in the same club as Teasel and Hermione so we have to be more careful and willing to try different ways of going at it. I second Sue's advice to try the U100 syringes. I really do think they'd give you the variety of dosing options that Phoebe needs.

I try to make myself feel better by telling myself that Teasel's craziness is teaching me to become a dosing expert. o_O

Thank you Kris! Believe me I feel like I'm a dosing and lancet pro hahaha! Anything for little baby Phoebe!
 
Little Phoebe sure likes that bouncy trampoline, doesn't she. I echo the recommendation to get the U-100 syringes with half unit markings - you can increase or decrease easily in 0.2 unit increments. Sounds like she feels great!!

I'll be purchasing the U-100 once I'm done with my U-40. I can't afford to be wasteful.

Thank you Carol! Phoebe is doing great! Everyone that'sseen her since the horrible 4th of July weekend cannot believe how great she looks! I'm the one that doesn't feel well! Hahaha!
 
Eric, one thing you could do.. Use your U40s when you are giving whole/half units and U100s for those tiny dose changes you want to make? Have to be very careful to think about which syringe you are using, but it might get you where you want to be faster. And consider U100s are less expensive - you can pick them up at the pharmacy.
 
Eric, these are the ones I use. They are from Walmart and are @$12/ 100
