12/11 Marley Lantus 364, +2 329, PMPS missed +1 156, +2 213, +3 124, +4 116

Why is a fat or a skinny any easier to draw than a 0.25? There are no reference marks on the syringe anyway except for half and whole units. There is an element of error in drawing all doses unless you use callipers.
 
I have no idea why - must be psychological!

I just know I really struggle with the .25. I guess because its the furthest away from a line?

Even if my skinnies and fats aren't actually completely accurate in terms of amount of insulin - I feel I can be more consistent with them.

I know it sounds nuts. But I do the whole numbers, fats and skinnies faster than I do 0.25s - which I spend AGES trying to get exact and not feeling I am......
 
I'm ashamed to say I totally didnt do PMPS.

Just realised and did a +1 156.

As I haven't got the PMPS I cant tell if this will be an active cycle or not. Or the fact that its gone up from +1 to +2 does that automatically mean its not going to be an active cycle? Or do I need to test again tonight?

Of course I do not mind you tagging me, but I'm invariably asleep in your PM cycles :-) It was 2am for me when you posted the above message. You could also tag @tiffmaxee who is on West Coast of the US and would be around then.

I would have thought that +2 being higher than +1 would mean it's not an active cycle but looks like he proved us wrong!
 
Oh my goodness I knew it was late but I didnt realise it was that late!

Sometimes I tag you knowing you will likely be asleep but hoping you will see it in your morning and share your wisdom, especially if its dose related, so that I know what to do in my morning rush!

So last night at +4 when he was 115 at +4......I wasn't really sure what I should do, and if he was then in danger of going into a hypo at for example +6......but it seems he was dropping slowly and because he was past the +4 marker and dropping slowly I hoped that meant it was ok. Then added with instinct that he would be fine, and anyway I seem to reach my limit - hit a wall at that hour, and then I really dont have anything left to go on nut gut. Dont get me wrong ive done the thing where I set my alarm and get up through the night. If I thought he was in any danger of course I would. So I just hope I am correct about having a great instinct. What would you have done in my position(my) last night?

I guess I am asking impossible questions as nothing is that clear, especially in the light of him doing up and then down like he did last night?
