@Ailish’s Brother
I just wanted to be sure you saw what Wendy suggested yesterday about the dose. I copied it for you
Today is day 8 on 1.5 units, I think you'd be fine to go to 1.75 units tomorrow.
I gave Neko half her food at PS time, the split the rest up into meals at +1, +2 and +3, at least when she was on Lantus. She'd often get a small snack around +7 to +9 as that was her typical nadir. I wanted her to know she could get some food from her autofeeder when she was mostly likely to be low, if I wasn't around.
At some point, you'll want to get some tests around the +2 to +3 range, to get an idea when the Lantus starts working and drops her numbers. Some cats drop fast at onset, so food 1/2 hour before then can slow down those fast drops (which can cause bounces). Knowing a cats typical onset and nadir can help you be strategic both with feeding, and testing.
