Member Since 2017
Mouzer has neuropathy, along with his diabetes. I have him on Zobaline.
May 12, 2017, on Friday - Mouzer's first ever reading was 463
Mouzer was on 2u of Lantus, for one week, as per vet instructions.
May 19, 2017, on Friday, After that week, Mouzer's reading was 371.
The vet took Mouzer's dose up to 3u.
I got into this forum with @Jill & Alex (GA)
I have lost my vet
I have to get things together to have a new vet.
I am wanting to do my own glucose curve, have all recordings, and be able to present to a new vet.
-----------------------------------
May 25, 2017, on Thursday - Advised to give Mouzer 1u
May 25, 2017, on Thursday at 7pm Mouzer was given 1u
And the dose is still 1u, twice a day.
May 27, 2017, on Saturday - I got my strips and meter all together, ready to use
May 27, 2017, on Saturday - Mouzer had 1u at 7am.
At 2:48pm - Mouzer's reading is 206
Would you continue with the 1u dose, for a solid week, before changing dose?
OR - What would you do now?
Mouzer is due a shot at 7pm. I will do a reading, before the shot, and return back here to see if anyone has any suggestions and to put in what the reading is, before the shot.
If I get no suggestions, I will stay at the 1u until @Jill & Alex (GA) or someone is able to suggest what I do.
Thank You

There are various ways of measuring super-tiny doses, but I think the main thing is to be consistent. Someone suggested to me that I draw marks on a piece of paper and line the plunger up with those, so I could be sure I got the plunger to the same place every time (even if my guess about whether that was .25 wasn't quite correct, at least I'd be giving a consistent dose). Some people use calipers! But to me your plan sounds fine--it'll be easier when you get the half-unit syringes in a few days!
