Poor guy had some softer stool today- gut sounds/ gurgling most of the early morning. I think because of the different foods last night from the MC- HC buffet. He woke up ready to eat. I forgot to give the vacation dose (0.10) this AM , and gave just the reduction (0.25) he earned. I hope this is enough disruption to the depot from the .50 units to keep him in safer numbers. I'll be leaving around 1 PM tomorrow- which will be his last test until Sunday around that time.

Hope all goes well! and you have a good break.
By the way, I’m curious how u give a 0.1 dose. It’s probably a drop?

My half unit marking syringes have that bold 1st line at " zero" units. Based on the microdosing pictures- it's 0.10 units right at the line. That's why I told it to the sitter since it lines up on the syringe and I don't think she could manage the other smaller doses like .20/ or .25. I printed out the second picture below and left it as a guide.

With half markings, it does look possible. Unfortunately, I can’t get these here. Doing 0.25 is already quite tough for me.

That's tough. I think you might eventually need the " inbetween " doses...you think you could try calipers?
If we have to go back up past .5 units- I will.

Jebat looks pretty good...greens yesterday. Hope those numbers squeeze down a bit or I smell another dose increase coming on. I wonder if a fatter 1.5 units ( almost 1.6 U) would be alright to try next since 1.75 put him at (74) before...? Are you two going to a modified reduction number...I think I read 70 on another post...?

Haha u know me so well! Yes thinking an increase is on the way. Contemplating doing at pm cycle in 2 hours’ time. U give me a good idea. Perhaps I’ll try a 1.6 (if I can do it) for a couple of days and see how it goes. I’ll be going out tmr evening and can’t test him so a 1.75 is a bit worrisome. And yes, a modified reduction is what I’m going to do too. I don’t know how it works but I did read somewhere that the pancreas sometimes need a jolt at low BG to make it start working again. A 70 is still quite safe.

I looked at the SS and could feel you getting antsy with the blue numbers
I am guessing these doses are all pretty hard without the 1/2 unit syringes. I guess if you already know where the 1.75 is on the syringe- you could try and turn the plunger, like a dial and skinny that dose up? Not sure if a fatter 1.5 or a thinner 1.75 is easier for you to " find" on the syringe....if that makes sense.
I'd give it another day but I understand wanting to do it now - I'll check out your numbers later today and see what's going on

I’ll use a magnifying glass to find that fat 1.5. His blue numbers seem to be rising last 2 cycles. Need to do sth.

So I increased and it’s 185 @+4. It’s NDW u think?

Maybe... Makoto usually does that the first day and then settles into the new dose the next night...sometimes it takes longer.
Jebat's been the 150s around that time previously. I feel like with the 20% variance in testing numbers- that's not too far off either.

Alright, we’ll see how he goes tmr. Not easy using the magnifying glass to get what I want.

Have a safe trip.
