Hiya!

Cooper had his lowest pre-shot ever this morning!

So tonight, do I need to increase to 5.5U instead of 5.25U? If I see any blues today, I should wait another day to increase, right?

Funny story: I was feeling around on Cooper yesterday for whatever reason and felt a lump behind his ribs. I immediately freaked out, and called my friend (who is a vet tech and lives next door) to come take a look. I was so upset, thinking it was a tumor. She felt the lump in question, then asked me to feel his other side. Another lump! "Those are his kidneys."

Nice to see a lower preshot. If he drops to blue, I would wait a bit longer to increase…yes.

I almost choked on my coffee!
Good to start with hearty laughs! Have a great da!

Unless he drops below 200, take his dose up tonight, from now on the standar increases eould be done in 0.5 units steps, so yes he would go up to 5.5units.
Should he see blue or lower you would hold the dose bit longer, but if you end up needing to take the dose up further you would still go up to 5.5 after waiting the appropriate number of cycles.
I know it seems like big jump, but if you consider it as a percentage increase it's only 10%

I should have also said that once over 5 u you usually take increases and reductions in 0.5 u steps.

When you go from 2.25 to 2.5 that's also approximately a 10% increase

Okay, yes, that makes sense then! Thank you so much for the information!
