Well, may I see the Libre numbers from last night before I answer that?Similar to last night. I shot 14S at 118. Is it weird that I feel like that's his sweet spot?He's currently 181 on the Libre.
I'll be ready again tonight should anything happen.
It has been wild for me to see colors other than black & pink. Honestly, I never thought I would. Thank you again for being here for us.
My plan is to stay with 14 if he is 150 or above in the morning. Does that seem reasonable?
So, basically, to your point, 14, at these high numbers. 
Do you mean if you have a lower AMPS or PMPS that you should stall? And wait until his numbers come up? I am not sure if that is what you mean, but I would not stall for long (maybe 30 minutes) because it will mess up the shot time and possibly mess up his opportunity to get some lower numbers. The last few nights (before tonight’s pink PMPS) you shot some of his lowest numbers yet with 14 units. He did well. Having that Libre to alert you to low numbers is a comfort. Are you able to place them yourself now?
I pray it's just a bounce.
It is discouraging when you have higher numbers after the better ones. And so frustrating that you just have to wait it out! He is going to come down though!
Kitties will still bounce on Lantus, but the depot can help even things out a bit more. However, you still need to get to a good fitting dose to even things out optimally.
. I spent forever with "dosing help?" on my subject line.
You are helping him a lot! More than you know. He may end up needing the increase and time will tell, of course. He’s not going to be in danger with your vigilance
@Wendy&Neko what is your take on this? Sorry to tag.
A pen is very easy to use. You just insert the syringe needle into the pen and draw back the insulin. You don’t insert any air into the pen. Now, having said that, I also used a vial of Lantus because it’s what my local pharmacy had available. It was only after I finally switched to Levemir that I got pens. We were on a huge dose of over 40 units when we switched.
This is what I was talking about— that I would not have increased to 15 units because you were already seeing green on 14 units… then he bounced… and I was anticipating the drop into lower greens (but I am happy it wasn’t lime green!)
So as far as his dose goes. What is his PMPS?
At the dose of 14 units, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal that you shot the extra half a unit. In my mind, the issue is that you are not taking reductions when they are earned so I am not sure what dosing method you are using. His ketones have been running around .4 or .6 and are not at a concerning level at this point, although they should be checked regularly as you already do. In Buster’s case, I know you watch him like a hawk and he will be safe from hypo with your constant vigilance. I know how much you love that boy!
This was really bothering me too — this morning as I pondered his spreadsheet. I think it really should be the Alpha Trak that is used for reductions because of the Libre’s tendency to read lower in the lower numbers. It’s extremely confusing. I got frustrated thinking … well if we are basing the need to reduce solely on the Libre then … does he really need the reduction at all? It needs to be made somehow very clear in the spreadsheet and in the remarks which are Libre readings and which are AT — and that it’s the AT numbers used for reductions. Even so, hopefully it will be clear enough to someone reading the SS and making recommendations that reductions will be made based on AT readings. I know your AT readings are in bold, but I couldn’t find a bold number in any of the cells where he’s been in the lower green numbers. So I was left wondering if we were even making the right decision based upon the most important data.
