? 11/23 Dose advice...we had some beautiful blues going, then...

He must have bounced after this am?? Did I hold 1.75 too long? I was so happy to see the blues!
Curve tonight, or will he be coming down from bounce for a while?
 
It does look like a bounce or that Zeke was munching on contraband.

With TR, you may have been holding Zeke's dose for a bit long. Zeke's been at 1.75u since 11/13. With TR, you evaluate the dose every 3 days/6 cycles and increase if the the majority of the nadirs are outside of a normal BG range. I'd increase his dose unless something happens between now and PMPS that indicates otherwise.

In addition, please get a "before bed" test every night. (I'm not sure if I'm recalling this correctly but do you work PMs? If so, ignore that comment. However, if you do work PMs, you might want to indicated that in your signature so we don't keep asking you to test when you're at work.)
 
Yes, I work PMs, I thought was in info but will put that in... I will increase to 2u tonight. I guess he will be bouncing?? so no curve for a few days? (I have been off, so able to get those few AMs). Before bed test is at AMPS.
 
I think you are merging the two dosing methods. With TR, you can test as much as you want or as much as Zeke will put up with. If you look at Gabby's SS, I followed TR. (I was also a testaholic -- you don't need to follow my example!) You want to get at least 4 tests -- your pre-shot tests and at least one test per cycle. Curves are fine with TR. You need a curve(s) to help you sort out where onset and nadir occur.

With SLGS, you do a curve weekly.
 
Ok, I’m going to increase tonight and test throughout some. I’ll hold for the 3-6 cycles then reevaluate. Thanks
 
Off topic but why do my avatar pics turn sideways no matter what size I choose to post. Could not get a reply fro tech forum.
