Yes, Rob... That 39 earned her a dose decrease to 4.50u. Unfortunately, we had an invite to dinner tonight, so I couldn't give her that amount. I'll do that tomorrow. Hopefully, she'll do good on this dose. I really don't want to increase her back to 4.75u and do this all over again like I did this a.m. I didn't get a chance to eat until about noon. LOL NOT that I didn't mind it, of course, as Blackie was my first priority. But, Momma's gotta eat too, ya know. LOL
And yes, Joanna... With Lantus, you CAN shoot on a low #. Or you can stall, and wait to see if kitty will raise. Normally, you would test, shoot and then feed (at least that's what I do now). I used to test, feed, then shoot. However, someone pointed out to me that you don't know what # your shooting at when you feed. So, I now reverse the 2. Typically with Lantus, your shots are based on the nadir #'s, not the PS #'s. Lantus also has an overlap, and a storage shed. I like it much better than the ProZinc that Blackie was on. With ProZinc, I found that the insulin wore off, and Blackie was in the much higher # range. With Lantus, she does go up, but not much. The trick is to try and maintain a certain # level, which are mainly in the greens. I'm still working on it.
P.S. If what I said above doesnt' make much sense, it's because it's midnight, we just got home from dinner, and Im' very tired. LOL
