We are now down to Lantus 1 unit BID. We have slowly reduced several times over the last week. Each time the decrease is .25 units. I am hoping these decreases stick. He is drinking less water for sure. Appetite is good, and he is so happy!

I am working tonight, which I normally would not. Hopefully husband will have a night where he can sleep.

Thank you all.
 
Gideon's BG @+2=110, and +4=64. Tonight his Lantus dose will decrease by .25 units to .75 units. Just gave him 1 TBSP of 14% carb food. Will retest at +5.
Hoping we have no deep dips tonight, since I am working!!!!

+5=90, after the 14% carb food.

I think the depot is effecting his cycles but since you are working the decrease makes sense. If he’s low you might consider skipping tonight and depending on the amps either reducing or sticking with 1.0 as that will drain the depot some most likely. Just another option.

Good idea. What would you consider a low number that I would not give insulin tonight? Normally I wouldn't give below 68, but should I hold if under 100? I had planned on giving 0.75 units tomorrow AM, depending on BG, but if I skip insulin tonight, he might be higher in the AM.
