Hi there, maybe not an critical emergency but Henry’s PS has never been 181 yet…is it ok to give him his regular dose? He is usually in the high 200’s or 300’s. It is almost time for his PM dose…thank you! I can remove the 911 if not appropriate. Thank you…
Edit: forgot to add, he did eat dinner after I checked his PMPS.

Kay, next time this happens, stall, don’t feed and test again in 20 minutes.
Are you able to test during all the cycle if you give the 0.1 U dose?
Do you have a hypo box set up with all the necessary things?
Your options are to give the dose and monitor all the cycle or give a drop dose and still monitor at least the first half of the cycle or give nothing
I would remove the 911. It is only for emergencies :)

Noted, thank you Bron regarding the stall next time. Not realistically would I be able to check the whole cycle (as it is night time). I can give the drop dose and monitor first half of cycle more reliably. For future reference, if I stall and glucose remains in the 100s…do not give dose or give dose? Thanks again Bron and @Diane Tyler's Mom

Ok. To give a drop dose…you push the plunger of the syringe right in and hold it while you insert the syringe into the insulin. Then let go of the plunger and then withdraw the syringe. Test it a few times to see that you have only withdrawn a drop.
When giving the insulin, hold the plunger down for a bit longer and as you withdraw it.
In the future until you gradually reduce the BGlevel at which you shoot, I would stall and ask for advice.

Got it!! Thank you, I was able to obtain the drop and gave it to Henry. :)
 
Kay, I think from tomorrow we can send you over to the Lantus forum where there are lots of people who use lantus who will be there to help you. We like to keep you here until we have everything sorted out with the new insulin but I think you are ready to move. Are you happy to do that?
Over on the lantus forum you post a new thread each day. The subject line should read
Date/ Henry/ AMPS and then any other BGs you might want to add as the cycle progresses and if you want to ask a question you can add the ? or write it in the subject line.

Sounds like a plan! I feel like Henry and I have graduated — thank you for ALL you help. I can’t thank you all enough. I did give a donation to the page to express my gratitude in some way. Thank you :cat:
