We are back to Giving Gideon Blue Lantus 0.1 units BID. I want to make sure I do not stop too early. This looks to be equal to a medium size drop or 2 small drops. I tried several times the colored water method to determine how much insulin (in drops) is actually in 0.1 units. It looks like if I put the plunger at the bottom of the ZERO line, it is 1/4 of the 0.5 units or 0.125 units.
Gideon has had a good day. We have had to keep all wrapping paper away from him. He loves to eat it! We don't use ribbons for this reason. As a kitten I was putting bows on lollipops I had made and he stole one of the pre-cut ribbons. I did not know it, until I saw him gagging. I saw a bout 1" of the 12" ribbon hanging out of his mouth. I instinctively grabbed it and pulled very slowly. I got it out, and have been extremely careful since. When I was a kid we had to be careful of the cats eating the tinsel on the Christmas tree. I haven't seen tinsel in years.
