Hi all;
I did my first curve at home yesterday,(25/02/2021 and sent the spread sheet results
to our Vet this morning. He said to increase his Lantus from 1 Unit twice a day to 1.5 Units to starting this evening.
PMPS is in ca 45 min.. if someone could please take a look at Milos spread sheet/ curve etc..
before his dosing time i would greatly appreciate it. I just want to make sure its ok to shoot
the increased dose tonight.( PMPS is pending in 40 min.)Thank You!
 
With our dosing method you would increase to 1.25, especially getting a nadir under 200 today and others under 300.
 
How would i measure 1.25 Units? My syringes are Eli Medical syringes 3/10 ml/cc
the syringe has larger 'increments on the RIGHT SIDE ~ reading 30 Units.
And THE LEFT side has smaller increments reading ~3/10 ml.
I am unsure how to measure the smaller dose: 1.25 Units..
Guessing it would be just a tad below the 1 Unit mark then? Thanks.

I am new to all this Thanks for your reply I'm replying to you again as i don't know if you got my earlier reply.(I totally suck on the computer!)
FYI i Milo was 17.1 at PMPS so i shot 1.25 Units.
 
I’m glad you didn’t increase by .50. Id get a test at +2. If it’s lower than the PMPS you will likely have an active cycle. If higher probably not. It’s important to find out how low a dose takes him so you need some mid cycle tests at night. If you see a +2 lower than the PMPS I would set an alarm for a test between +5-7.

Thank you so much i will do a test at +2 for sure and also follow your advice with setting my alarm if needed
to test + 5-7.
Sorry for being a pest...Another question...I think i measured the the 1.25 right..
Syringes are Eli Medical Insulin syringes/ 3/10ml/cc/ it has larger increments on Right Side
reading 30 Units. And on the left side it has smaller increments reading 3/10 ml,
I drew up' just a tad' below the 1 Unit mark .Happy and very grateful to have found this fantastic supportive and caring group!

Typically 1.25 is part way between 1 unit and 1.5 units. Take a look at this post, https://felinediabetes.com/FDMB/thr...info-proper-handling-drawing-fine-dosing.151/ and the picture called Insulin Syringe Scales.

knowledgeable and helpful group of caring folks. Thank you so much!
