Posting this in ACRO forum as well.

Please take a look at his numbers. Increased to 14U of Lantus on Tuesday. numbers have risen. Neuropathy is still bad. Do I need to go up again? I'm not sure how fast I should move up to get his numbers down. Should I go up every 1-2 days until I get in the 200's??

Gulper, ACRO diagnosed.
 
You need to hold this dose longer and get more data. It's possible he's going low when you aren't testing, then bouncing. There is also New Dose Wonkiness - temporary higher numbers in the first few cycles after an increase. You need to hold the dose long enough to build the depot, and see how low the dose is taking him. If you could get a second test every single cycle, you could increase faster.

I can't do more tests until Saturday. I'm at work during the day and can't test. Thanks.
