Update for evening: Gave 15 L and .5 R. Tested at one hour. Down a little bit (10 points so not significant). What I think is good is that, with a meal at PMPS time, when he normally would have had a rise in glucose, he really didn't. I'm interested to see what happens over the next hour.
Morning post:
This insulin does nothing. I don't think he'd be any higher without any insulin at all. I can't think how many times since his diagnosis that I have said those words... stood in my kitchen looking at my daughter saying.... (in a loud and animated/passionate voice) "this insulin does NOTHING... NOTHING!!!" Then I look down at my Darcy who is sitting on the barstool just looking at me like.... well.... aren't you going to feed me?? So I say, well of course, your such a GOOD boy... etc. (lots of praise for the kitty in case he should think that my overly animated tones were directed at him.)
But ugh! I would have expected he could at least be a tiny bit lower at +4.5... the insulin should do something. He hasn't even had food since first thing this morning at 5:45 a.m. so the food should be cleared. Oh well.... I know I am impatient (except that we've been doing this since last June). Oh well, best not waste any more time complaining. Will keep on keeping on... will be trying the .5 R with the 15 units this evening. Sorry for writing so much.
Greetings to all the extra special sugar cats out there!

So far, not a whole lot of movement. I think it may be keeping him from spiking when he eats though. Maybe a little more will be necessary to "help" the Lantus.
