You can change the title on your post at any time. Go to the top right of your 'thread'. This one you are in now. Over on the right hand side, you will see "Thread Tools, Edit Title". Click on that. A smaller window pops up on your screen where you can change the title on your post and to the left of that title is a box where you can change the prefix on your post. No prefix is fine for most situations but that is where you can select the Question mark icon or the 911 for severe emergencies. Save your changes. you might want to try this.
For now Goeril, "Please, pretty please, pretty please with sugar on top." Keep all your posts in this one thread. It's easy for us helping you to look back through all that has been written. Would you also add your first name to your signature? I might be helping multiple people at the same time and that helps me not to mix things up.
You can always change the title on your post if you would like some guidance when you get those first low numbers. I'm not up that late at night, but there is often someone on the board later. Not always, but often enough. And people do scan the boards for people in more immediate need. You could also post over in the Lantus forum, since there are often more people hanging out over there later at night (and during the day too). Simply a fact of more people using lantus.
Write something like… “BG level xxx, 1st low number <100 (5.5), please HELP” to alert people to your situation. If you don't get a response, reply to your own post with the word 'BUMP', to move your post to the top of the list. Posts are all in order by the most recent timestamp on the post, so your post may have fallen farther down in the list but needs more attention sooner than others.
If you get a BG under 30 mg/dL (1.6 mmol/L) on a human meter, change the prefix icon on your post to 911. That really gets people's attention. "
Using the 911 prefix. The 911 prefix in the subject line should only be used for emergencies such as symptomatic hypos, very low numbers (below 30 on a human meter), and /or a very sick cat potentially needing ER care."
It's like calling your police, fire, medical emergency number for help for humans. It will get our hearts racing and coming to you and your cats rescue.
Did I leave anything unanswered? More questions? Understand everything? Take your time and read back through everything. There is a lot here. It's good you want to know so much, but you have other responsibilities too as do all of us here. My cat is begging for more food in fact.
